Occupational Health: Achievements, Continuing Challenges and Evolving Issues

Catalog description

Most adults spend between a third to a half of their time at work. Workplace conditions have a huge effect on both individual and population health. Worker health is a public health issue that crosses many boundaries such as social, economic, scientific and political. Within this context students will discuss key accomplishments that have improved worker health and explore conditions that still put worker health at risk both nationally and globally. Prerequisite(s): restricted to Public Health juniors and seniors or by approval of department.
