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 国际卫生组织职业安全和健康核心领域的研究生培训。该计划始于1978年， 被安置在梅尔和埃尼德·扎克曼公共卫生学院(MEZCOPH)。有三个曲目：Mph， 硕士和博士；NIOSH仅对硕士学位课程(经AET认可的公共卫生硕士)申请支持 和MS)。该计划由九名教职员工和一个工业咨询委员会组成 来自该地区的职业安全卫生/卫生健康专业人员。现有硕士生9人，博士生14人 项目中的学生。该计划将招收7至8名硕士研究生和3至5名博士生 每年都有学生。 UA IH项目的一个独特优势是我们对采矿健康和安全的关注。亚利桑那州和 西南地区拥有地球上最丰富的铜及相关大宗商品资源。这种矿物 资源开发行业有很长的职业暴露导致工作场所伤害和 生病了。解决这些问题，提供一个健康安全的工作场所是专业IH的职责。 UA IH计划是西南地区唯一的此类计划，因此它必须提供新的IHS的大部分 对于该地区来说。硕士项目需要42学分才能毕业，通常在两个小时内完成 好几年了。在信息技术的关键领域提供全面的课程，包括空气监测理论和 实践、职业安全、身体暴露、毒理学和环境健康。项目毕业生 在工业、政府和学术界找到职业安全与健康专业人员的工作。随着教育的发展， 课程，根据他们以前的背景，他们可以参加CIH和/或CSP考试 在他们职业生涯的早期。自2011年以来，我们的六名学生获得了来自美国的著名奖学金 工业卫生协会(AIHA)。 下一个预算期的方案目标是：继续提供公共卫生硕士和硕士研究生水平的IH培训 增加受过培训的IHS的人数，特别侧重于西南部；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； 保持教唆认证；扩大培训、实习和学生研究机会，重点放在 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一点 通过在整个西南部强调多元化招聘。

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 ABET accredited MPH and the MS). The Program is guided by nine faculty members and an Industrial Advisory Committee made up of OSH/IH professionals from the region. There are currently nine masters' students and fourteen doctoral students in the program. The plan is to admit seven to eight new masters' students and three to five PhD students each year. A unique strength of the UA IH program is our focus on mining health and safety. 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. Since 2011, six of our students have received prestigious scholarships from the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). The program goals for the next budget period are: to continue to provide MPH and MS level IH training to increase the number of trained IHs, with a particular focus on the Southwest; to continue to provide training specific to exposures in the mining industry with opportunities for student internships and research projects; to maintain ABET accreditation; 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.
