Huntington, WV (HNN) - Dr. Mohammed Ranavaya, chief of the Occupational Medicine Division at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and president of the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners board of directors, was a keynote speaker at the International Bodily Injury Association Congress Sept. 20-24 in Madrid, Spain.
Co-sponsored by the European Association of Personal Injury Evaluation Physicians, the meeting included more than 1,000 physicians involved in evaluating personal injury claims.
Ranavaya said the European physicians have expressed interest in standardizing their disability evaluations based on the system set out in the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. He is a co-author and associate editor of the most recent edition of the reference book, which is used by most U.S. states and many nations around the world in the legal resolution of personal injury, worker’s compensation, impairment and disability claims.
Ranavaya is a professor of occupational and environmental medicine at Marshall, and he also is director of the Appalachian Institute of Occupational & Environmental Medicine in West Virginia. He has performed several thousand independent medical evaluations, and has taught skills for performing independent medical evaluations to more than 10,000 physicians in the U.S. and abroad.
A past president of the American Academy of Disability Evaluating Physicians, Ranavaya is one of the founders of the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners and helped develop the certifying exam for physicians seeking credentials as certified independent medical examiners.
He has authored several chapters and numerous articles on disability medicine. He also has served as the chair of the editorial board of the Medical Disability Advisor, a book on workplace disability duration guidelines for various injuries and diseases. He is editor in chief of the journal Disability Medicine and serves on editorial board of the AMA Guides newsletter.
Holding degrees in both medicine and law, Ranavaya is a certified independent medical examiner. He is a fellow of the American College of Preventive Medicine, the American Academy of Disability Evaluating Physicians, the Faculty of Occupational Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians, and the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.
