Occupational Health Psychology Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：康涅狄格大学(UConn)职业健康心理学(OHP)研究生培训计划招收工业/组织心理学、护理、公共卫生和职业与环境医学方面的合格研究生，进行职业健康心理学(OHP)的专门培训。培训的目标是让这些精选的学生精通进行多学科研究，以造福于工人的健康和安全。在过去的六年里，康涅狄格州大学平均每年从NIOSH获得约6万美元，用于培训这些博士级研究人员。受训人员学习如何为OHP知识库做出贡献，并在发现或实施维护和促进工人健康和安全的新方法方面变得高度有能力。培训计划遵循科学家-实践者模式，受训人员必须完成12学分的规定课程作业，3学分的OHP教师监督下的应用领域或实验室研究，硕士和学位论文水平的研究，并参加教师的研究实验室。所有学员完成研究生研讨会，涵盖行为科学、人体工程学和流行病学的原理，需要由OHP核心教员和医学院的流行病学家讲授的多学科研究提案。此外，受训人员还需完成一门流行病学必修课程和两门心理学和/或公共卫生专业的选修研究生课程，这两门课程必须满足所需的广度要求，包括人员/组织心理学、人类因素/人体工程学或公共卫生。这一课程内容和应用研究培训相结合的目的不仅是使受训者掌握解决当今职业健康问题的必要技能，而且使他们能够引入工作组织和工作场所设计的新概念，通过积极主动地采取工作场所干预措施来提高工人的安全、健康和生产力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Graduate Training Program in Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) recruits qualified graduate students in industrial/organizational psychology, nursing, public health, and occupational and environmental medicine for specialized training in occupational health psychology (OHP). The training goal is for these select students to become highly proficient at conducting multi-disciplinary research to benefit worker health and safety. Over the past six years, UConn has received, on average, approximately $60,000 per year from NIOSH to train these doctoral-level researchers. Trainees learn how to contribute to the OHP knowledge base and become highly capable at discovering or implementing new ways of maintaining and promoting worker health and safety. The training program follows a scientist-practitioner model in which trainees must complete 12-credits of prescribed course work, three credits of applied field or lab research under the supervision of OHP faculty, master- and dissertation-level research, and participate in faculty research labs. All trainees complete a graduate proseminar that covers principles of behavioral science, ergonomics and epidemiology and which requires development of a multidisciplinary research proposal, taught by core OHP faculty and also an epidemiologist from the School of Medicine. In addition, trainees complete a required epidemiology course and two elective graduate courses in psychology and/or public health that meet a required breadth requirement covering personnel/organizational psychology, human factors/ergonomics or public health. This combination of course content and applied research training is designed not only to equip trainees with the necessary skills to address today's occupational health problems, but also to enable them to introduce new concepts of work organization and workplace design that can enhance worker safety, health and productivity through proactive approaches to workplace interventions.
