MPH Program Adds Occupational Public Health Concentration

The Master’s of Public Health (MPH) Program, housed in the department of environmental health, has added an occupational public health concentration to educate future physicians on the best ways to both prevent injury and treat patients who have been hurt in their line of work.

Andrew Freeman, MD, assistant professor of environmental health, is the director of the concentration, which officially began Jan. 1, along with James Donovan, MD, and James Lockey, MD.

The concentration also includes UC’s two-year Occupational Medicine Residency Program, the longest-running program of its kind in the nation, which incorporates aspects of graduate school and a traditional residency.
