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.

项目摘要/摘要 亚利桑那大学（UA）工业卫生（IH）计划的目的是提供硕士 IH核心职业安全和健康领域的水平研究生培训。该计划始于1978年， 位于Mel和Enid Zuckerman公共卫生学院（Mezcoph）中。有三个曲目：mph， MS和博士；仅针对硕士学位课程要求NIOSH支持（Abet认可的MPH 和MS）。该计划由九名教职员工和一个工业咨询委员会指导 来自该地区的OSH/IH专业人员。目前有九名大师的学生和14个博士学位 该计划的学生。该计划是承认七至八个新的大师级学生和三到五位博士学位 学生每年。 UA IH计划的独特优势是我们专注于采矿健康和安全。亚利桑那州和 西南是地球上铜和相关商品的最富有的捐赠之一。矿物 资源开发行业的职业暴露历史悠久，导致工作场所伤害和 疾病。解决这些问题并提供健康安全的工作场所是专业IH的角色。 UA IH程序是西南部唯一同类计划，因此必须提供大部分新的IHS 对于该地区。硕士课程需要42个学分才能毕业，通常在两次 年。 IH的关键领域提供了全面的课程工作，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。课程毕业生 在工业，政府和学术界找到就业人士。随着在 程序，并且根据他们以前的背景，他们可以期望参加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的享有声望的奖学金 工业卫生协会（AIHA）。 下一个预算期的计划目标是：继续提供MPH和MS级别的IH培训 增加训练有素的IHS数量，特别关注西南；继续提供培训 特定于采矿业的暴露，并提供学生实习和研究项目的机会；到 维持教abet认证；并扩大培训，实习和学生研究机会的重点 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 通过强调整个西南部的多样性招募。
