Occupational Health Psychology Concentration and Traineeships

HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY CONCENTRATION

A training concentration is offered in occupational health psychology
(OHP) to all department students as well as students outside of psychology. This is an interdisciplinary curriculum consisting of two seminars from Psychology (Work-Family and Occupational Health Psychology, both INP7097) and two minor courses from Public Health (e.g., Safety and Health Administration PHC6354, Environmental and Occupational Health PHC6357, or Safety Management PHC6360). Additional activities, such as a colloquium series, are also available.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY TRAINEESHIPS

The I/O program has been awarded a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health training grant to provide in depth interdisciplinary training in OHP that goes beyond the OHP concentration. Our OHP program is part of the USF Sunshine Education and Training Center (ERC) in our College of Public Health. This training consists of the same courswork as the OHP concentration plus 3 additional courses in the College of Public Health. A number of nonclassroom training experiences/opportunities also are available through this program to enhance knowledge and skills in the OHP area. Requirements for the traineeship fit within the I/O requirements such as the minor, advanced methods electives, and 7 elective graduate courses. The grant can provide stipends, tuition, health insurance, conference travel and research costs for students who are in the program.
