Have you optimized your Google Business Profile? One of the most important things you can do is to select the right categories. Only your primary category will be displayed to users, but you can add additional categories that will help drive relevant searches. If you are exclusively or primarily an occupational medicine practice, your primary category should be "Occupational health service". Additional categories that we often use include: -Medical clinic -Occupational medical physician -Occupational safety and health If you are an urgent care clinic or another specialty that offers occ med as an additional service, then your primary category should reflect your main focus, with the occ med categories above used as your additional options. #occupationalhealth #googlebusinessprofile #urgentcare #occmedgrowth #urgentcaremarketing

So I took this photograph about 2 years ago when I delved into the practice of #occupationalhealthmedicine with the aim of finding a niche in a place where many doctors have not really found interest in our environment. It is almost becoming a norm for doctors to sit in hospitals and clinics attending to patients as against managing a population by policies,procedures and protocols. First challenging but over time, I stabilized and it has been a home for me in the mean time. My discoveries? Mind blowing. I also saw that there are a whole lot that we are yet to do as medical practitioners in this field. Have you experienced occupational healthcare practice? What was it like? Do you think more doctors need to switch towards identifying what they can offer in this field? Where can we start? #occupationalhealthmedicine #Emergencymedicine #Preventivemedicine #HealthSafetyandenvironment

LINK BELOW 😁 Occupational Therapists have long treated brachial plexus injuries ranging from newborns to adults. For those that may have never treated this diagnosis, the brachial plexus is the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed, or in the most serious cases, ripped apart or torn away from the spinal cord. In this study guide, learn some varied viewpoints, treatments, and processes to gain great outcomes. https://lnkd.in/eVMVZzqF
