Introduction to the Program
Susan Gerberich, PhD, and Bruce Alexander, PhD
Program Co-Directors
Occupational Injury Prevention Research Training (OIPRT), in concert with programs in Occupational Medicine, Occupational Health Nursing, and Industrial Hygiene, among others, is part of the nationally funded Midwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety. This program provides a multifaceted approach to advanced academic and research training, with a primary goal to prevent and control occupational injuries.
Students will be engaged in course work and research in the general realm of injury epidemiology and control. Some examples of past and current research efforts, both epidemiological/surveillance and clinical investigations, have included agricultural trauma, low-back injury, repetitive motion trauma, health practices and injuries in the workplace, work-related amputations, and work-related violence. Integral to these efforts is a basic understanding of dynamic interactions among the agents/energies (mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical, radiation, etc.) and the hosts/worker populations within the environment.
The degree provided from this program is a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Environmental Health. Learn more about the degree.

Students selected their own topic of interest and created websites to present the information. The projects identified injury problems related to the workplace, community or home, the magnitude of the problem to the degree thapxt it is known, and presented the trends, risk factors, estimated costs, and strategies for prevention and control of the injury problem. The students presented their website projects on Monday, April 30, 2012.
