Abstract-Occupational Health Internship Program The primary goal of the OHIP program is to identify and provide training for the next generation of occupational health professionals. Three major training objectives underlie the program. Over the course of a summer, each of the OHIP trainees gains an understanding of: • The importance of work-related health and safety hazards in determining the health of workers and the general community; • The changing nature of the workforce and importance of designing health and safety interventions to meet the needs of specific and diverse worker groups; and • The role of occupational health and safety professionals in reducing workplace health and safety hazards. The second goal of OHIP is to increase diversity in the occupational health disciplines by aggressively recruiting and mentoring students from minority and immigrant backgrounds. Many of the over 400 applicants we receive each year are from underrepresented minorities (URMs), and the majority we accept into the program are from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Of the 284 students over the fourteen years of the program, 70% percent were from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Fifty percent of them would be included in the URM category. In addition, 82% of all OHIP students are fluent in a second language and 14% speak a third language. Thus, many of our students bring special language and cultural skills that are essential to the success of the project. In addition, the majority of our field-based projects serve low wage and immigrant worker populations. Each OHIP team completes three “deliverables” during their 9-week project: (1) Educational materials that can be used by their host organization (union, community based organization, agency, etc.) to improve worker knowledge of safety and health hazards; (2) Summary of their findings in PowerPoint format to be presented at the end of the summer through videoconference links; and (3) Written summary reports of project objectives, methods, results and recommendations. OHIP project personnel and mentors from around the country, each with considerable health and safety experience, work to ensure that the internships will be successful. This includes extensive national recruitment for applicants, careful selection of student projects, organization of a three-day national orientation training, and effective mentorship and supervision throughout the summer. Post-summer communication with the trainees solidifies their interest in occupational health. A national advisory board composed of nationally recognized educators and scientists continues to play a key role in overseeing the program.

摘要-职业健康实习计划 OHIP计划的主要目标是为下一代识别和提供培训 职业健康专业人员。该计划的三大培训目标。 在一个夏天的过程中，每个OHIP学员都了解： ·与工作有关的健康和安全危害在确定工作人员健康方面的重要性 工人和一般社区; ·劳动力性质的变化以及设计健康和安全的重要性 采取干预措施，满足具体和不同工人群体的需求; ·职业健康和安全专业人员在减少工作场所健康和安全方面的作用 安全隐患 OHIP的第二个目标是增加职业健康学科的多样性， 积极招募和指导来自少数民族和移民背景的学生。 我们每年收到的400多名申请人中，有许多来自代表性不足的少数民族。 （URM），我们接受的大多数人都来自不同的种族， 社会经济背景。在14年的课程中，284名学生中，70% %来自不同的种族和社会经济背景。其中50%的人 被纳入URM类别。此外，所有OHIP学生中有82%的人在一秒钟内流利地使用 14%的人会说第三种语言。因此，我们的许多学生带来了特殊的语言 和文化技能是项目成功的关键。此外，我们的大多数 实地项目服务于低工资和移民工人群体。 每个OHIP团队在他们为期9周的项目中完成三个“可交付成果”：（1）教育 可由其主办组织（工会，基于社区的组织， 机构等）提高工人对安全和健康危害的认识;（2）总结他们的 将在夏季结束时以PowerPoint格式提交调查结果， 视频会议链接;以及（3）项目目标、方法、结果的书面摘要报告 和建议. 来自全国各地的OHIP项目人员和导师，每个人都有相当的健康 和安全经验，工作，以确保实习将取得成功。这包括 在全国范围内广泛招募申请人，精心挑选学生项目，组织 为期三天的全国定向培训，以及整个过程中的有效指导和监督 夏天暑期后与学员的交流巩固了他们对以下方面的兴趣： 职业健康由国家认可的教育工作者组成的国家咨询委员会 科学家们继续在监督该计划方面发挥关键作用。
