The Center for Occupational and Environmental Health and its sister centers at UC Los Angeles and UC Irvine serve government, industry, labor, communities, schools, health professionals, and the general public through programs and partnerships designed to deepen understanding of occupational and environmental hazards and to prevent disease, fatalities, and injuries. Since its inception in 1980, COEH has been committed to delivering university services directly to the public. This is accomplished through a labor and community education program, a continuing professional education program, and clinical services.

COEH is a major provider of continuing education, coordinating a broad spectrum of accredited courses for practicing health and safety professionals. Affiliated with the Division of

Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health as well as nursing, medical, and engineering departments at UCSF and UC Davis, COEH is funded by the University of

California and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to train

graduate students and residents at the three campuses as well as provide continuing education for practicing professionals and training for labor and other community groups. The Center's

Continuing Education Program draws upon faculty from throughout COEH as well as nationally prominent guest instructors. Courses range from a few hours to a week in length. Attendees include physicians, nurses, safety professionals, occupational hygienists, and others interested in occupational safety and health issues. The Center for Occupational and Environmental Health offers a variety of courses, symposia, and summer institutes for continuing education on current topics in the categories of industrial hygiene, ergonomics, occupational and environmental health nursing and medicine, occupational safety, hazardous substance training, agricultural safety and health, and multidisciplinary topics.

Enrollment for COEH Continuing Education courses for the past three years is as follows:

The Labor Occupational Health Program is a community outreach program of the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health. The program serves labor, management, community organizations, health professionals, government, schools, and the general public. LOHP offers short courses for professionals in occupational health and related fields. LOHP also collaborates with the Work and Health Initiative at UC's Institute of Industrial Relations, providing training for public service projects in workers' compensation and occupational safety and health. LOHP is a community outreach program whose work addresses today's health and safety needs in nearly every industry from healthcare to agriculture to construction. Current projects include construction safety, environmental justice, ergonomics, hazardous waste, human factors, immigrant workers, lead hazards, teens in the workplace, union health and safety skills, and workplace violence.

Because many of the LOHP trainings target other trainers and leaders who go on to disseminate the information and resources to their communities (in some case, using training activities provided by LOHP), we estimate that many thousand additional people were reached. Recorded enrollment for LOHP Continuing Education courses for the past three years is as follows:

addition, the funding is used by the MCH Program to sponsor a one-day, in-person continuing education event each year. These one-day meetings draw upon the expertise of MCH faculty and are open to all public health practitioners interested in the topic area that is showcased. Recent examples of past events include:

 Beyond the Basics- Integrating the Life Course Perspective into Public Health Practice (February 2011)

 Are We Poisoning Our Children? How Chemicals in the Environment Affect Children’s Health (November 2011).

The Center for Public Health Practice, through its CALPACT Training Center also offered extensive training for the local public health workforce. The number of professionals trained over the past 3 years is included in the table below. CPHP worked with San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa County Departments of Public Health to provide customized trainings to meet priority assessed competencies. It also provided a quarterly continuing education program for alumni, with over 100 participants in each session based on topics identified as the most relevant and timely. The Center for Health Leadership hosts an annual conference with over 200

participants from a wide range of public health organizations. While the public health training center grant ended in 2014, the School will continue to offer trainings with local partners through other sources of funding.
