Graduate Industrial Hygiene Training Program Grant, University of Arizona

项目摘要/摘要 亚利桑那大学(UA)工业卫生(IH)项目的目的是提供硕士学位 卫生署职业安全和健康核心领域的研究生培训。该计划始于1978年，目前 住在梅尔和埃尼德·扎克曼公共卫生学院(MEZCOPH)。有三个曲目：最高分，最高分， 和博士；NIOSH支持只适用于硕士学位课程。该计划由14(11)人指导 教员和由职业安全和健康部组成的工业咨询委员会 来自该地区的专业人士。目前有10名硕士生和12名博士生 程序。本次NIOSH培训项目拨款申请的目的是为IH提供资金支持 硕士的学生。 UA IH计划的一个独特优势是我们对采矿健康和安全的关注以及与最近 成立了采矿和矿产资源学院(SMMR)。亚利桑那州和西南部是最富有的地区之一 这个星球上的铜和相关商品的资源。矿产资源开发行业已经 长期接触导致工作场所受伤和疾病的职业暴露。解决这些问题， 提供健康和安全的工作场所是专业卫生机构的职责。UA IH项目是唯一的项目 因此，它必须为该地区提供大部分新的IHS。硕士学位课程 需要42学分才能毕业，通常需要两年时间。综合课程是 在空气监测理论和实践、职业安全、物理 暴露、毒物学和环境健康。项目毕业生在北京找到了职业安全健康专业人员的工作 工业界、政府和学术界。在该计划中获得的教育，取决于他们以前的 背景，他们可以预期参加CIH和/或CSP考试在他们职业生涯的早期。 下一个预算期的方案目标是：1)继续提供公共卫生硕士和硕士水平的IH培训，以 增加受过培训的IHS的人数，特别侧重于西南部；2)继续提供培训 具体到采矿业的暴露，有学生实习和研究项目的机会；3) 保持CEPH认证；4)扩大培训、实习和学生研究机会 关于微生物暴露。多样性是该计划的优先事项，该大学将继续支持 这是因为它强调在整个西南部地区招聘的多样性。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of the University of Arizona’s (UA) Industrial Hygiene (IH) Program is to provide master’s level graduate training in the core occupational safety and health area of IH. The Program began in 1978 and is housed in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH). There are three tracks: MPH, MS, and PhD; NIOSH support is requested only for the master’s degree programs. The Program is guided by 14 (11 regular and three adjunct) faculty members and an Industrial Advisory Committee made up of OSH/IH professionals from the region. There are currently ten masters’ students and twelve doctoral students in the program. The purpose of this NIOSH Training Project Grant funding application is to financially support IH master’s students. A unique strength of the UA IH program is our focus on mining health and safety and relationship with the recently formed School of Mining and Mineral Resources (SMMR). Arizona and the Southwest have one of the richest endowments of copper and related commodities on the planet. The mineral resource development industry has a long history of occupational exposures that lead to workplace injury and illness. Solving these problems and providing a healthy and safe workplace is the role of the professional IH. The UA IH program is the only program of its kind in the Southwest so it must provide the bulk of the new IHs for the region. The master's’ programs require forty-two credit hours to graduate, usually accomplished in two years. Comprehensive coursework is provided in the key areas of IH including air monitoring theory and practice, occupational safety, physical exposures, toxicology, and environmental health. Program graduates find employment as OSH professionals in industry, government, and academia. With education obtained in the program, and depending on their previous background, they can expect to sit for the CIH and/or CSP exam early in their career. The program goals for the next budget period are: 1) to continue to provide MPH and MS level IH training to increase the number of trained IHs, with a particular focus on the Southwest; 2) to continue to provide training specific to exposures in the mining industry with opportunities for student internships and research projects; 3) to maintain CEPH accreditation; 4) and to expand training, internship and student research opportunities focused on microbiological exposures. Diversity is a priority for the program, and the University will continue to support this through its emphasis on diversity recruiting throughout the southwest.
