specialty is emphasized. Graduates of the program are prepared for, and have entered practice

PROGRAM -ACADEMIC:
The residency program consists of two distinct but closely related years of training. The academic year (PGY2) consists of courses in subject areas that form a basis for the practicum year (PGY3) experience and for practice in the specialty. This course of study leads to a MPH degree in Occupational and Environmental Medicine from the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Graduate School of Public Health. Degree requirements established by the Graduate School of Public Health include a minimum of 42 credit hours of required and elective courses, preparation and defenses of a thesis, usually based on a research project or comprehensive literature review of a selected topic. The academic program is supplemented with practical experience in our Occupational Medicine referral clinics.
PROGRAM -PRACTICUM:
The practicum year (PGY3) enjoys strong support and commitment of local medical directors who hold faculty appointments in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health in the Graduate School of Public Health and serve as practicum rotation preceptors. This segment of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency training program includes rotation experiences at Allegheny County Health Department. Bayer Corporation,Pittsburgh Area OSHA Office, Washington County Occupational Medicine Center, UPMC Work Partners, Concentra, and U.S. Steel Corporation, etc.
Throughout the academic and practicum years, residents participate in a variety of scheduled enrichment activities. These include journal clubs, seminars local and regional occupational medicine, toxicology meetings, medical grand rounds, and other programs in general medicine, dermatology, pulmonary medicine, or orthopedics. These activities provide continuity and integration for the program and encourage interaction between residents and practitioners in related fields.
PROGRAM-ELIGIBILITY:
All applicants must have completed with a C or better, 3 college credits of algebra or higher level math and 3 college credits of human biology. Applicants must possess a graduate degree from an acceptable institution in a discipline relevant to public health; or a U.S. bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or the equivalent degree from a foreign school and substantial knowledge in a discipline relevant to public health, either through study or experience or a combination of these.

Applicants shall have completed all courses listed on the Course Prerequisite Form. A department may also require submission of GRE scores by an applicant.
