David Greenberg, M.D., MPH
Dr. Greenberg’s great grandparents settled in California’s Central Valley around the late 1800’s. He was born and raised in San Francisco, graduating from George Washington P.H.S. in 1970. Dr. Greenberg then moved east to matriculate at U.C. Berkeley, and in 1975 graduated from U.C. Berkeley’s College of Agriculture. Still pursuing an eastern education, Dr. Greenberg attended the U.C. Davis School of Medicine and graduated in 1979. He then joined the Army for five years where he served as an intern, resident, psychiatric ward officer and two years as an infantry brigade surgeon. Dr. Greenberg received his ASAM certification in 1987 and he is currently certified in addiction medicine. Dr. Greenberg’s 1999 MPH internship project involved a comparison between U. S. and Canadian physician competency assessment programs and their impact on the activities of physicians and risk management.
Since the mid-1980’s, Dr. Greenberg has practiced in the areas of addiction medicine, chronic pain medicine, and occupational medicine. He has served on physicians’ health and well being committees for various healthcare organizations. Dr. Greenberg also acted as the department chair for the mental health and addiction services for a large Arizona based staff model/HMO, in addition to serving as the medical director for its EAP operations. From 1986 to 1990, Dr. Greenberg worked as an investigator for the Arizona Medical Board and subsequently served as its chief medical investigator, and assistant executive director. For the past 15 years, Dr. Greenberg and Dr. Sucher have been awarded the Arizona Medical Board’s Monitored Aftercare Program contract. This program serves MD and PA participants who are recovering from chemical dependency and other associated diagnoses.
Dr. Greenberg has developed a special interest in the evaluation and monitoring of high risk workers returning to the workplace after medical, surgical, mental health, or substance abuse related events. In addition to healthcare workers, Dr. Greenberg has also been responsible for the evaluation and monitoring of other high risk workers in fields as diverse as mining, commercial fishing, logging, manufacturing, smelting, transportation workers, and construction, to include civilian nuclear facility construction workers, as well as assisting in the military’s nuclear clearance process.
Dr. Greenberg believes that the time has come for occupational medicine to address the special needs and challenges of physicians working in the U.S. and Canada. He plans to sit for his preventive medicine and occupational medicine board exams in 2009. |
