Masters of Education in Occupational Environmental Heal*

描述 本申请建议为宾夕法尼亚大学职业健康护理培训项目(职业和环境健康教育硕士)提供博士水平的研究培训补充。宾夕法尼亚大学护理学院于1986年招收了OHN硕士项目的第一名学生，目前已有63名学生毕业。这些毕业生在满足宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西州和特拉华州OHNS的地区需求方面发挥了关键作用。护理学院建议通过开发OHN的博士培训计划来扩大他们的能力，以满足人力需求。这项拟议的修订回应了先前对TPG进行的一次审查中提出的一项建议，该建议确定了护理学院有一个强大的研究环境，并需要增加医生准备的OHN。这一补充申请增加了一个目标，即培养护士科学家进行研究，以满足TPG工作人员的职业和环境健康和安全需求。 OHN博士培训计划将与现有的护理博士计划相结合，并将有研究准备，包括正式和非正式的学习机会，包括课程、考试和感知经验。

DESCRIPTION This application proposes a doctoral level research training supplement to the currently funded Training Project Grant in occupational health nursing at the University of Pennsylvania (Masters in Education in Occupational and Environmental Health). The University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing admitted its first student in the masters OHN program in 1986 and has graduated 63 students. These graduates have played a critical role in meeting regional needs for OHNs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The School of Nursing is proposing to expand their capacity to address manpower needs by developing a program for doctoral training in OHN. This proposed revision addresses a recommendation made in a previous review of the TPG that identified a strong research environment in the School of Nursing and the need to increase doctorally-prepared OHNs. This supplemental application adds the objective to prepare nurse scientists to conduct research to meet the occupational and environmental health and safety needs of workers to the TPG. The OHN doctoral training program will interface with the existing PhD in Nursing program and will have research preparation consisting of both formal and informal learning opportunities to include coursework, examinations and perceptive experiences.
