Graduate Industrial Hygiene Training Program Grant, University of Arizona

描述(由申请人提供)：这项拟议的培训计划拨款将提供工业卫生核心职业安全和健康领域的研究生培训，以帮助NIOSH实现其提供合格人员以实现《职业安全和健康法案》的目标。亚利桑那大学在培养工业卫生专业的本科生和研究生方面有着悠久的历史，亚利桑那州和全国对合格的工业卫生师的需求再次增加。在西南地区继续实施高质量的工业卫生计划有助于满足该地区在经历高速增长的地区对训练有素的职业卫生专业人员的强劲需求。亚利桑那州的项目还发挥了重要作用，成为该地区执业专业人员的信息、研究和专业发展需求的中心。这笔培训补助金将提供津贴，以吸引和支持高素质的申请者。公共卫生硕士学位的目的是为学生从事涉及专业实践和/或研究的工业卫生职业做好准备。工业卫生学研究生必修课程的共同核心是强调工业健康危害的预测、识别、评估和控制方面的专门培训。公共管理硕士的学生需要暑期实习，最后是一份实习报告，并向同行和公众做一次演示。毕业生的要求还包括准备和辩护一份研究技术报告，这份报告为学生确保他们在工业卫生领域工作的科学价值做好准备。鉴于全国和全球对具有采矿经验的工业卫生员的需求，以及我们与亚利桑那大学采矿和地质工程系的广泛合作伙伴关系，我们的课程除了标准的工业卫生学课程外，还将特别关注采矿健康和安全。我们的工业卫生实习生将有机会参加关于采矿健康和安全的专门课程，并作为其常规工业卫生课程的一部分，测量和帮助控制亚利桑那大学圣泽维尔地下矿山的暴露。他们还将获得在圣泽维尔矿的研究机会，以及在亚利桑那州内外的矿业公司进行研究和实习的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Training Program Grant will provide graduate training in the core occupational safety and health area of Industrial Hygiene, to assist NIOSH in meeting its goal of supplying qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The University of Arizona has a long history of educating undergraduate and graduate students in the Industrial Hygiene profession, and the need for qualified Industrial Hygienists in Arizona and nationally is again on the increase. The continuation of a high quality Industrial Hygiene program in the Southwest helps to meet a strong demand for well-trained occupational health professionals in a region experiencing high growth. The Arizona program also serves an important function as a focal point for information, research, and professional development needs for the region's practicing professionals. This training grant will provide funds for stipends to attract and support highly qualified applicants. The purpose of the MPH degree is to prepare students for Industrial Hygiene careers involving professional practice and/or research. Specialized training in the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of industrial health hazards is emphasized in a common core of required Industrial Hygiene graduate courses. A summer internship is required for MPH students, culminating with an internship report and a presentation to peers and the public. Graduate requirements also include the preparation and defense of a research technical report, which prepares students for ensuring the scientific merit of their work in the field of Industrial Hygiene. Given the national and global need for Industrial Hygienists with experience in mining and our extensive partnership with the Department of Mining and Geological Engineering at the University of Arizona, our program will have a special focus on mining health and safety, in addition to our standard Industrial Hygiene curriculum. Our Industrial Hygiene trainees will have opportunities to take specialized courses in mining health and safety and to measure and help control exposures within the University of Arizona San Xavier underground mine as part of their regular Industrial Hygiene coursework. They will also be offered research opportunities at the San Xavier mine as well as research and internship opportunities with mining companies located in and outside Arizona.
