This program is designed to train occupational and environmental medicine specialists for careers in any of the major sectors of the field—academia, industry, government, clinical practice, or labor—and provide expertise in both clinical and preventive occupational and environmental medicine. For further information, contact the administrator, Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency program at 410-955-4157. This program prepares nurses for positions in private sector organizations as well as academia, consulting and government agencies. Graduates fill a unique and growing need for nurses who wish to apply their professional skills to program management, research, and problem solving to prevent adverse effects of workplace and community exposures on human health. Degrees are offered at the doctoral and master’s levels. For additional information, contact Dr. Sheila Fitzgerald, OEHN Program Director at sfitzger@jhsph.edu or 410-955-4082 or Dr. Jacqueline Agnew, ERC Director, at jagnew@jhsph.edu or 410-955-4037. This Program is engaged in examination of the drivers, consequences and implications of global environmental change in light of the three main complicating challenges of shrinking supplies of inexpensive petroleum and financial and political obstacles to achieving a more sustainable future. Students in the MPH, MHS, DrPH and PhD programs are encouraged to participate in the activities of the program. For additional information, visit the Program website at www.jhsph.edu/dept/EHS/Centers/Sustainability/Index, or contact Dr. Brian Schwartz at bschwart@jhsph.edu or Dr. Cindy Parker at ciparker@jhsph.edu. The Graduate Interdepartmental Program in Molecular Epidemiology offers specialized cross-training in epidemiology and the laboratory sciences. The objective of the Program is to provide candidates with solid training in the complementary disciplines of epidemiology and laboratory sciences to encourage interdisciplinary approaches to solving public health problems. For more information, contact Dr. Paul Strickland at 410-955-4456 or pstrickl@jhsph.edu. This program educates and trains students to identify major environmental health issues facing public health professionals today. Courses explore the sources of environmental agents, their distribution in community and work environments, transfer routes to humans and possible health effects; the basic biological mechanisms underlying the association between prior exposure and subsequent development of adverse health effects; and control strategies and interventions. The program is intended for public health professionals currently practicing environmental/occupational health who are seeking formal training, current degree candidates in the School, and non-degree candidates wishing to begin their formal training in environmental health. A selection of on-line courses is available for students who wish to pursue the certificate via the internet. For more information, contact Bill Spannake at espannha@jhsph.edu or 410-614-5441 or visit http://commprojects.jhsph.edu/academics/prop.cfm?id=39. This program provides students with an understanding of the principles that govern the relationship between biomedical researchers and laboratory animals; demonstrates the application of transgenic, in-vitro, computational, non-mammalian and non-animal research in toxicology; and illustrates the ways in which humane science and alternatives are used in setting regulatory standards and making environmental health policy decisions. The program is open to persons who hold undergraduate or graduate degrees in public health or the biomedical sciences. It is also open to any student in a degree-granting program at the University, although it is anticipated that most enrollees will be students at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Persons who are members of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) and/or involved in animal welfare issues are encouraged to participate in this certificate program.
