The focus of the Occupational Health curriculum
is on the planning, delivery, and evaluation of occupational health
services for working populations. Specialization in Occupational Health
Nursing prepares graduates for advance practice as clinical nurse specialists.
The curriculum is interdisciplinary, including a focus on occupational
health nursing, health systems management, and environmental health
and safety. Majors work extensively with preceptors in a variety of
industrial, corporate, hospital-based, and nurse managed occupational
health settings.
