Slip and fall prevention
Our special UHealth guest is Dr. Alberto Caban-Martinez, D.O., Ph.D., M.P.H., C.P.H., assistant professor of public health sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. In addition to his ergonomics practice at UM, he is an occupational epidemiologist whose research has focused on work-related health trends.
