Through a combination of practical and research-oriented coursework and field experiences, graduate students at the Center examine current problems relating to the workplace to learn methods and approaches to establish and healthy and safe work environments. The Master's Program in Industrial Hygiene enables graduates to move rapidly into positions of responsibility and industry. Graduates from the Program in Occupational-Health Nursing, by virtue of a didactic program grounded in research methodology, have been able to expand the role of occupational-health nursing in various settings. The Occupational-Health Nursing Core exists in collaboration with Simmons College and provides two Master's-level options: a one-year practitional track and a two-year dual-degree program as an occupational-health nursing practitioner with advanced interdisciplinary course of study in occupational health. Physicians training in the Occupational Medicine Core receive a Master's degree in a residency meeting the American Council for Graduate Medical Education and American Board of Preventive Medicine requirements for certification in Occupational Preventive Medicine. Finally, doctoral students are trained in occupational health, occupational epidemiology, industrial hygiene and occupational molecular epidemiology. Students in doctoral training are recruited from the very specialties related to occupational safety and health including occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, and related fields such as biology, ergonomics, engineering, and environmental health.
