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.

项目概要/摘要 亚利桑那大学 (UA) 工业卫生 (IH) 项目的目的是提供硕士学位 IH 核心职业安全与健康领域的研究生水平培训。该计划于 1978 年开始， 位于梅尔和伊妮德·祖克曼公共卫生学院 (MEZCOPH)。共有三个轨道：MPH、 硕士和博士；仅需要硕士学位课程（ABET 认可的 MPH 和 MS）。该计划由九名教员和一个工业咨询委员会指导 来自该地区的 OSH/IH 专业人员。现有硕士生9名，博士生14名 该计划的学生。计划招收七至八名新硕士生和三至五名博士生 每年的学生。 UA IH 计划的独特优势是我们对采矿健康和安全的关注。亚利桑那州和 西南航空拥有地球上最丰富的铜及相关商品资源之一。矿物质 资源开发行业具有导致工伤和职业暴露的悠久历史 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，因此它必须提供大部分新的 IH 对于该地区。硕士课程需要四十二个学分才能毕业，通常需要两个学分 年。提供 IH 关键领域的综合课程，包括空气监测理论和 实践、职业安全、物理暴露、毒理学和环境健康。计划毕业生 在工业界、政府和学术界找到职业安全与卫生专业人员的工作。凭借在以下领域获得的教育 计划，并且根据他们之前的背景，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，我校已有六名学生获得美国著名奖学金 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 增加受过培训的 IH 数量，特别关注西南地区；继续提供培训 针对采矿业的接触，为学生提供实习和研究项目的机会；到 维持 ABET 认证；并扩大培训、实习和学生研究机会，重点关注 微生物暴露。多样性是该计划的首要任务，大学将继续支持这一点 通过强调整个西南地区的多元化招聘。
