Education and Research Center (ERC-Cincinnati)

描述（由申请人提供）：辛辛那提大学（UC）教育与研究中心（ERC）提议在2011年7月至2016年6月的五年期间继续培训研究生和继续教育的职业卫生专业人员。ERC成立于1977年，通过加州大学校园内的三个学院为学生提供六个专业的研究生教育：工程与应用科学学院（职业安全与健康工程）、护理学院（职业健康护理）、医学院（生物监测、有害物质学术培训、职业卫生和职业医学住院医师）。有针对性的研究培训（TRT）涉及所有学术课程的教师和学生，为区域重要就业部门提供更安全，更健康的工作场所：消防员和紧急救援人员，低工资工人和卫生保健工作者。伦理委员会与其他13个区域机构合作实施一项试点研究计划（PRP），以培养刚接触健康与安全研究的学生和教师的研究技能。继续教育计划涵盖所有学科，服务于该地区和其他州和国家。在这些正在进行的活动中，我们建议增加一个健康物理学课程。这些项目被组织成一个ERC来完成以下任务：为研究生提供跨学科教育；2. 通过试点项目和研究培训发展和支持研究技能；3. 就职业暴露、疾病和伤害、控制策略的设计和干预措施的有效性进行创新和跨学科研究；4. 通过区域伙伴关系，提供继续教育、咨询和外联服务，以满足环境和职业安全与健康需求；5. 将研究成果转化为实践。每年至少招收四名住院医师和五名其他核心项目的学生，以及三名联合项目的学生。每年至少有600人参加继续教育项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Cincinnati (UC) Education and Research Center (ERC) proposes to continue training occupational health professionals in graduate and continuing education for the five-year period of July 2011 through June 2016. Established In 1977, the ERC provides graduate education for students in six programs through three colleges on the UC campus: College of Engineering and Applied Science (Occupational Safety and Health Engineering), College of Nursing (Occupational Health Nursing), College of Medicine (Biomonitoring, Hazardous Substances Academic Training, Occupational Hygiene and Occupational Medicine Residency). The Targeted Research Training (TRT) Involves faculty and students In all academic programs to provide a safer and more healthful workplace in regionally Important employment sectors: firefighters and emergency responders, low wage workers and health care workers. The ERC joins with 13 other regional institutions in a collaboration to implement a Pilot Research Program (PRP) to develop research skills among students and faculty new to health and safety research. A Continuing Education program spans all disciplines, serving the region and other states and countries. To these ongoing activities, we propose to add a program in Health Physics. These programs are organized as an ERC to accomplish the following: 1. Provide Interdisciplinary education for graduate students; 2. Develop and support research skills through pilot projects and research training; 3. Conduct innovative and interdisciplinary research on occupational exposures, illnesses and Injuries, the design of control strategies and effectiveness of interventions; 4. Deliver continuing education, consultation and outreach to address environmental and occupational safety and health needs through regional partnerships; 5. Translate research findings into practice. Annual enrollment will be at least four medicine residents and five students in the other core programs, and three students in the allied programs. At least 600 participants will attend continuing education programs annually. RELEVANCE: Workplace injury and illness adds substantially to health care costs. The educational programs offered by the ERC will prepare professionals to serve in their respective roles on the health and safety team-Identifying hazardous exposures, reducing risk and treating injury and illness. Through outreach students translate research to practice and learn of the need for continuing education as part of life-long learning.
