Testimonials from Our Participants

Dr. John Jurica, MD, MPH, CPE, FAAPL

I like your “to the point” succinct approach. Your programs are logically structured and informative. I think this practical approach will be of great help. I honestly have to say how lucky I have been to find you and your vast knowledge of occupational medicine. As you know, regulatory medicine can sometimes be boring and unclear. You have the unique ability to make these topics understandable and relevant. As always, I am very grateful I found your site and look forward to more of your excellent presentations.

Now Let’s Discuss What’s So Unique About Occupational Medicine for Urgent Care.

So far, since you’ve made it this far, we know you are “qualified” to learn more…

How can this program help you?

If you had to go out and find all the information presented in these lessons, it would take months, and then you’d have to sort through to get just what is relevant to front line urgent care and occmed practice.

I know because medical directors of large programs have told me they’ve already spent months tracking down some of this stuff only to find it so well presented in a half-hour lesson!

Most of the research you’d have to do would be full of too much information. I’ve already cut through all that and succinctly present everything you need to know for all your occmed exams and worker’s compensation injury care.

Dr. Laura Radke (MD)

I am a native of Milwaukee and have spent my entire life in the metropolitan area. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Target MD Medical Honors Program, graduating in 1986. Through this program I started medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1985 and graduated in 1989. Given my love for the area, I decided to stay and completed my Internal Medicine residency and Infectious Disease fellowship through the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. I was initially board certified in Internal Medicine and subsequently Infectious Diseases.

While working in an infectious disease private practice, I was approached by the healthcare system and asked to become medical director for employee health. Over the next few years my work evolved to include travel medicine and ultimately the opening of a clinic for external clients. Since then, my practice has increasingly focused on the care of workers. I became a Medical Review Officer in 2000 and maintained that certification to date. Having worked for ProHealth Care in Waukesha, WI for 12 years as medical director of employee health and occupational health, I came to Froedtert in 2018, rejoining colleagues I worked with 20 years earlier in the role of Medical Director of Occupational Health Services. I am a certified DOT medical examiner and am active in the ACOEM in the Medical Center Occupational Health and Public Safety Medicine special interest sections. I currently have oversight for 7 occupational health clinics serving external clients in Southeast Wisconsin as well as our own employees and those of Wisconsin Diagnostic Labs and the Medical College of Wisconsin, including their learners and housestaff.
