NIOSH Graduate Training in Occupational Safety and Heal*

描述 本申请为2005-2010学年加州圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)工业卫生学研究生培训项目的NIOSH续签支持。该计划提供工业卫生学专业的理学硕士(MS)学位。该中心位于南加州大学公共卫生研究生院(GSPH)职业与环境卫生部内。 SDSU工业卫生学硕士课程的总体目标是培养从业者。该计划服务于南加州地区，包括边境地区，课程中强烈强调实践经验。GSPH拥有一个多元文化的学生群体。由于许多IH学生已经在IH和其他相关领域就业，因此开设夜校课程以适应工作的学生。 工业卫生专业的申请者必须拥有基础科学学士学位和/或具有足够的生物、化学和物理科学背景。入学的额外要求是GPA&gt；3.0和GRE&gt；1000在口头和(&gt；550)数量方面。在完成包括人体解剖学和生理学在内的生物科学课程后，化学、物理和工程学方面的高素质毕业生也可能被录取。 硕士学位是一个为期两年的课程，需要42个学期的学分，其中26个是必修的核心课程，如下所示： 课程#课程名称学期小时 PH601流行病学3 PH602生物统计学3 PH732工业卫生学原理4 PH638A毒理学原理3 PH737A工作场所中的化学制剂3 PH735工业通风3 PH636危险废物管理3 PH700人体工学原理2 PH737B工作场所中的物理和生物制剂2 卫生与公众服务部的核心课程和通风课程有实验室部分和/或实地考察。除了核心课程外，规定的选修课至少有七个学分。 除了核心课程和选修课外，在指定的实习设施中，至少需要3学分(每学分60个接触小时)的实地实习(PH650实地实习3学分)。 该项目的负责人是贝赫扎德·S·萨米米，他从该项目一开始就指导着该项目。他是一名终身教授，拥有工业卫生实践认证，并活跃在AIHA。他还教授几门核心课程，并为大多数IH学生提供建议和指导。 该计划有一个由9名成员组成的咨询委员会(职业健康培训咨询委员会或OHTAB)，Samimi博士是该委员会的成员，他在招生、研究和实地培训方面提供咨询。

DESCRIPTION This is an application for renewal of NIOSH support for the graduate industrial hygiene (IH) training program at San Diego State University (SDSU) in San Diego, California during the academic years 2005 - 2010. The program offers a Master of Science (MS) degree with an Industrial Hygiene concentration. It is administratively housed within the Division of Occupational and Environmental Health (DOEH) of the Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) at SDSU. The overall objective of the masters program in Industrial Hygiene at SDSU is to train practitioners. The program serves the Southern California region, including the border areas and practical experience in the curriculum is strongly emphasized. The GSPH has a multicultural student body. Since many of the IH students are already employed in IH and other related fields, evening courses are offered to accommodate students who work. Applicants to the Industrial Hygiene program must have a B.S. degree in basic sciences and/or adequate backgrounds in biological, chemical, and physical sciences. Additional requirements for admission are a GPA > 3.0 and a GRE > 1000 in verbal and (> 550) quantitative aspects. Highly qualified graduates in chemistry, physics, and engineering may also be accepted in the program after completing courses in the biological sciences including human anatomy and physiology. The MS degree is a two-year program that requires 42 semester credit hours of which 26 are in required core courses as follows: Course # Course Title Semester Hrs PH 601 Epidemiology 3 PH 602 Biostatistics 3 PH 732 Principles of Industrial Hygiene 4 PH 638A Principles of Toxicology 3 PH 737A Chemical Agents in the Workplace 3 PH 735 Industrial Ventilation 3 PH 636 Hazardous Waste Management 3 PH 700 Principles of Ergonomics 2 PH 737B Physical and Biological Agents in the Workplace 2 The IH core courses and the ventilation course have laboratory components and/or field trips. In addition to the core, there is a minimum of seven credits in prescribed elective courses. In addition to the core and elective courses, there is a minimum requirement of 3 credits (60 contact hours per credit) of field practice (PH 650 Field Practice 3 credits) in a designated internship facility. The program director is Behzad S. Samimi who has guided the program since its inception. He is a tenured professor, has certification in the practice of industrial hygiene, and is active in AIHA. He also teaches several of the core courses, and advises and supervises the majority of the IH students. The program has a 9 member advisory board (the Occupational Health Training Advisory Board or OHTAB), of which Dr. Samimi is a member and which he consults on student recruitment, research and field training.
