MSU’s College of Human Medicine, Occupational and Environmental Medicine Division, collects reports noted below for the State of Michigan, confirms diagnoses and initiates investigations to identify the circumstances under which individuals have become sick or been exposed. The goal is to use these cases reported to prevent others from becoming sick. Our clinic is not open to the general public but rather to support the safety and reporting efforts.
