Graduate Industrial Hygiene Training Program Grant, University of Arizona

项目总结/摘要 亚利桑那大学（UA）工业卫生（IH）计划的目的是提供硕士学位。 职业安全和健康核心领域的高级研究生培训。该计划始于1978年， Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health（英语：Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health）有三个轨道：MPH， MS和博士; NIOSH支持只要求硕士学位课程（ABET认证的MPH MS）。该计划由九名教师和一个工业咨询委员会指导， 来自该地区的奥什/健康专业人员。现有硕士研究生九人，博士研究生十四人 方案中的学生。计划招收七至八名新硕士生和三至五名博士生 学生每年。 UA IH计划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和相关商品资源之一。矿物 资源开发行业有着长期的职业暴露历史，导致工作场所受伤， 病解决这些问题，提供一个健康和安全的工作场所是专业IH的作用。 UA IH项目是西南地区唯一的此类项目，因此它必须提供大部分新的IH 为该地区。硕士课程需要42个学分才能毕业，通常在两个小时内完成。 年综合课程在IH的关键领域提供，包括空气监测理论和 实践、职业安全、身体接触、毒理学和环境卫生。计划的毕业生 在工业、政府和学术界寻找职业奥什专业人员的工作。在美国获得教育， 计划，并根据他们以前的背景，他们可以期待参加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美国著名的奖学金， 工业卫生协会。 下一个预算期的计划目标是：继续提供公共卫生硕士和硕士水平的卫生培训 增加受过培训的卫生行政人员的数量，特别是在西南地区;继续提供培训 具体到采矿业的接触与学生实习和研究项目的机会; 保持ABET认证;并扩大培训，实习和学生研究的机会，重点是 微生物暴露。多样性是该计划的优先事项，大学将继续支持这一点 通过其对整个西南部招聘多样性的重视。

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.
