N1 - Funding Information:
A number of voluntary and union-based organizations are also heavily involved in providing occupational health information to workers in their communities, as well as in advocacy for improvements in workplace safety. Committees for Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) have been established in many states. These consist of associations of occupational safety and health professionals and other interested individuals. Their range of activities includes safety and health training and continuing education, advocacy, investigation of specific hazards, and industrial hygiene consulting services. There are seven COSHs in NYS, the largest being NYCOSH (based in New York City). Large unions often have their own occupational health and safety departments and/or professionals that actively participate in OEM training and related activities. Many of these programs are funded by the NYS Department of Labor Occupational Health Training and Education Fund.

N2 - New York State (NYS) is home to 7.2% of the population and producer of 8.4% of the gross domestic product of the United States. The history and the current status of occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) research, educational resources, clinical practice patterns, and regulatory framework in NYS are reviewed. Changes anticipated or already taking place in health care financing, clinical practice patterns, occupational safety and health regulations and enforcement, and funding for research and medical education at the national level, are already having an impact in OEM activities in NYS.
