The University of Cincinnati Education and Research Center (UC ERC) serves the regional and national needs in occupational safety and health through interdisciplinary academic education, research training and professional development courses. MS and Ph.D. degrees are offered; a wide range of continuing education courses are available for practicing professionals. Through outreach activities, research findings are shared with practitioners and research is translated to practice.

Programs are offered in Occupational Health Nursing, Occupational Medicine Residency, Occupational Hygiene and Occupational Safety and Health Engineering. Specialized training can be obtained in Biomonitoring and Hazardous Substances; both of these certificate programs are designed to enhance the skills of students studying occupational hygiene. Training in research methods is available through the Pilot Project Research Training Program and through funds made available to address the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). See details for each academic program in the side-bar for more information.

The UC ERC provides a broad selection of continuing education courses. Research findings are disseminated through continuing education and lead to better understanding of occupational exposures and result in changes in practice that reduce exposure to improve health.
