DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Agriculture has been recognized as one of the most hazardous industries in the U.S. Hazards on farms contribute to excessive mortality, morbidity, and disability among the agricultural community, yet the safety and health needs of this segment of the population go largely unmet. To address the agricultural safety and health needs of the southeast U.S., the scope of the existing master's degree component of the Rural Medical Scholars Program (RSMP) at the University of Alabama will be expanded to include a focus on agricultural safety and health (RMSP-AG). The expanded program will integrate existing agromedicine components of the RMSP, including the Safe State OSHA Consultation Program at the University of Alabama and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, with the occupational safety and health educational programs of the Deep South ERC. The RMSP-AG will teach agricultural safety and health from a basic foundation of core public health courses, a basis in industrial hygiene and occupational safety and ergonomics with a strong emphasis on occupational safety and health interdisciplinary activities, and a specific focus throughout on agricultural safety and health. This curriculum will involve one-year (36 semester hours plus project) of master's study to prepare individuals with undergraduate and/or graduate science academic backgrounds to pursue successful careers in academia, research and private industry as agricultural occupational health and safety professionals. Inclusion of the RMSP-AG Program in the Deep South ERC will result in RMSP-AG students being exposed to and participating in interdisciplinary interaction with students in occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, and occupational safety and ergonomics, and in turn will supplement the training of all Deep South ERC students by providing them with opportunities to develop an awareness of the practice of agricultural and occupational medicine. It is anticipated that as many as 6 RMSP-AG graduates per year will become physicians, and approximately 4 trainees per year will utilize this master's specialization in agricultural safety and health to further their existing careers as community health nurses, human and environmental science scientists, agricultural engineers, and agriculture/extension specialists. The long term goal of this program will be to produce a body of physicians and agriculture safety and health specialists who will dedicate their careers to preventing injuries and disease in the rural community.

描述（由申请人提供）：农业被认为是美国最危险的行业之一，农场的危害导致了农业社区中过高的死亡率、发病率和残疾，但这部分人口的安全和健康需求在很大程度上没有得到满足。为了解决美国东南部的农业安全和健康需求，阿拉巴马大学农村医学学者计划（RSMP）现有硕士学位部分的范围将扩大到包括农业安全和健康（RMSP-AG）。扩大后的计划将整合RMSP现有的农业医学组成部分，包括阿拉巴马大学的安全州OSHA咨询计划和阿拉巴马合作推广系统，以及深南ERC的职业安全和健康教育计划。RMSP-AG将从核心公共卫生课程的基础，工业卫生和职业安全和人体工程学的基础上教授农业安全与健康，重点是职业安全和健康跨学科活动，并特别关注农业安全与健康。本课程将包括一年（36个学时加上项目）的硕士学习，为具有本科和/或研究生科学学术背景的个人做好准备，使他们能够在学术界、研究机构和私营企业中作为农业职业健康和安全专业人员追求成功的职业生涯。将RMSP-AG项目纳入深南ERC，将使RMSP-AG的学生接触并参与职业医学、工业卫生、职业健康护理、职业安全和人体工程学等领域的跨学科互动，从而补充所有深南ERC学生的培训，为他们提供发展农业和职业医学实践意识的机会。预计每年有多达6名RMSP-AG毕业生将成为医生，每年约有4名学员将利用这个农业安全与卫生硕士专业，进一步发展他们现有的社区卫生护士、人类和环境科学科学家、农业工程师和农业/推广专家的职业生涯。该方案的长期目标是培养一批医生和农业安全和卫生专家，他们将致力于预防农村社区的伤害和疾病。
