[The Occupational Medicine Post-Graduate School of Milan]

From its very foundation, post-graduate work for medical doctors has been the main objective of the "Clinica del Lavoro". This completion of the doctor's training has, in the course of the past century, moved in time with the evolution of Occupational Medicine as a science: new developments in the field, the results of experimentation and research carried out in the Clinic, have immediately been passed on to young doctors. The professionals trained in the Clinic have always been considered the very best and have been sought after by the most important medical facilities in the country. Since the beginning of the last century, when Luigi Devoto began to evaluate the infectious, poisonous, and deficiency pathologies connected with the workplace, to the post-war years of rapid growth, when Enrico Vigliani studied and prepared our doctors to deal with dust-related pulmonary diseases, metal-based poisons, and many other problems connected with the transformation of an agricultural society to an industrial society, and up to the present years, which have been characterized by the post-industrial new economy, the "Clinica del Lavoro" has always taught and put into practice the motto of Luigi Devoto: "Occupational medicine is not a part of medicine, but rather a particular way to practice medicine".
