NIOSH Training Project Grant (TPG): Industrial Hygiene - U. Toledo

描述（由申请人提供）：由托莱多大学健康科学校区医学院公共卫生与国土安全部开发和提供的ASAC-ABET认可的职业健康理学硕士（MSOH）学位-工业卫生计划的主要目标是为全日制和非全日制学生和公众提供硕士水平的教育和培训，以增加他们的知识，理解，对促进职业健康和安全科学与实践至关重要的技能和态度。这是通过理论、实践和应用（即以案例为基础；以问题为基础）课堂、实验室和实地教学和研究活动的结合来完成的。该项目主要教育和培训来自俄亥俄州西北部的个人。反过来，毕业生被聘为整个地区的职业健康和安全专家。此外，该项目还接受来自该地区以外的学生，一些校友在美国、加拿大和中东的其他地区工作。MSOH学位-工业卫生课程采用了ABET对“课程教育目标”的定义，即“所有课程毕业生在毕业时将有资格实践的内容，以及大多数毕业生在毕业后几年内能够实现的内容（例如认证，高级学位，工作晋升）。”MSOH学位-工业卫生专业的三个“项目教育目标”是：(1)期望所有毕业生都有资格实践“综合工业卫生”。(2)大多数毕业生期望在工业卫生或环境和/或职业健康与安全的相关领域实习，并满足雇主的相关和适当需求。(3)在符合资格的情况下，根据学位和研究生工作经验（即毕业后4年），大多数获得职业健康与安全相关认证（即CIH、CSP、CHMM）的毕业生将通过。该计划每年将教育和培训约15名学生（约8个全职工作岗位），每年要求提供相当于5至6名NIOSH学员（3个全职工作岗位）的资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of the ASAC-ABET accredited Master of Science in Occupational Health (MSOH) degree- Industrial Hygiene program, developed and offered by the Department of Public Health & Homeland Security in the College of Medicine at the University of Toledo Health Science Campus, is to provide master-level education and training to full- and part-time students and members of the public for the purpose of increasing their knowledge, comprehension, skills and attitudes essential to the advancement of occupational health and safety science and practice. This is accomplished via a combination of theoretical, practical and applied (i.e. case-based; problem-based) classroom, laboratory, and field teaching and research activities. The program educates and trains individuals mainly from Northwest Ohio. In turn, graduates are employed as occupational health and safety specialists throughout the region. In addition, the program also accepts students from outside the region and several alumni are employed in other areas throughout the USA, Canada, and Middle East. The MSOH degree-Industrial Hygiene program adopted the ABET definition for "Program Educational Objectives", that is, "what all program graduates will be qualified to practice at the time of graduation and what most graduates will be able to achieve (e.g. certification; advanced degree; job promotion) a few years after graduation." The three "Program Educational Objectives" for the MSOH degree- Industrial Hygiene program are: (1) AII graduates are expected to be qualified to practice "comprehensive industrial hygiene". (2)Most graduates are expected to practice in the field of Industrial Hygiene or related areas of Environmental and/or Occupational Health and Safety and to meet the relevant and appropriate needs of their employers. (3)When eligible, based on degrees and post-graduate work experience (i.e. 4 years post-graduation), most graduates who pursue applicable certification (i.e. CIH; CSP; CHMM) in occupational health and safety will pass. The program will educate and train approximately 15 students (~8 FTE) per year, with funding requested for the equivalent of five to six NIOSH trainees (3 FTE) per year. The program addresses a NIOSH "core discipline", a DHHS Healthy People 2010 OS&H initiative, and the Institution's and Department's Missions with focus on prevention/mitigation of work-related human illnesses/ injuries via anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of applicable hazardous agents and factors.
