Charlie has been continually involved in the provision of occupational services in the Roanoke valley for over 20 years. He was trained as an engineer, then in family medicine and began offering on-site services to a variety of corporate entities including the State of Virginia and county governments near Smith Mountain Lake. Upon relocating his practice to N.W. Roanoke, he became involved with a number of large businesses and provided on-site services to General Electric, Ingersol-Rand, Hollins University and many others. In 1995, he was selected to become one of seven full-time global medical directors for General Electric where he obtained additional training and certification. He functioned as disability leader for the Industrial Systems Group, nationwide OSHA compliance officer, ADA expert witness, and health care plan manager. Clinical competencies include ACOEM MRO Training, CAOHC, Ergo leadership etc. He functioned as Six Sigma champion for the healthcare team. Responsibilities included on-site clinic management for over 50 clinics worldwide, each with employed nursing and physician personnel. In 2002, Dr. Lamb left his full-time post to become a consultant to General Electric on-site services so as to better focus his efforts on Workplace Safety Solutions, Inc (where he is the CEO) and the Primary Care Associates venture. His experience as both a manager and clinical provider is indeed what sets PCA Occupational Medicine’s practice apart.
