Fortunately, the education on Occupational Health in Argentina is improving continuously, mainly in the Postgraduate Universitary Education as OH physicians are increasingly demanded, specially by the Private Insurance Companies (ARTs),  At the moment there are no masters nor doctoral degrees on OH. Only two universities in the country have a career of OH Nursing and there no medical or nursing residencies.  The weakness is observed at the Pregraduate Education, because there are not exclusive OH departaments: OH is a chapter of Public Health or Preventive Medicine as well.  Efforts are conducted to solve this situation
