Our Continuing Education Mission:

The Midwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety (MCOHS) Continuing Education (CE) program mission, "to improve occupational/environmental health and safety through the transmission of knowledge, skill and understanding to those responsible for workplace health and safety," is complemented by the mission of its administrative home, the Centers for Public Health Education and Outreach, which is "to promote access to lifelong learning that bridges academic and public health practice communities through education/training for practicing public health professionals."

To accomplish these dual missions the MCOHS CE program:

1) conducts and accesses multifaceted local, regional and national needs assessments to determine continuing education needs of occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals;

2) responds to needs of broad-based OSH professional audiences by developing/offering relevant courses;

3) maintains high-quality course offerings as evidenced by ongoing course, instructor, and selected impact evaluations,

4) maximize resources and knowledge base by collaborating with both internal and external individuals and groups; and

5) increases benefit/reach of face-to-face programs and online learning opportunities using innovative technology.

The MCOHS CE training program is committed to offer training in the core disciplines as well as interdisciplinary programs, covering a wide spectrum of interest and skill levels with introductory and advanced courses in hazard-specific and/or industry-specific topics, emerging OSH issues, and traditional,longstanding exam/practice review and update/refresher programs.
