Nationwide, nearly 56,000 people die from a workplace
injury and more than 3 million suffer disabling work injuries each
year, with an estimated $171 billion annually in direct and indirect
costs. To provide the research and professional care to combat workplace
and environmental hazards, the University of California's regional
centers offer multi-disciplinary programs in medicine, nursing,
public health and related fields to help train occupational and
environmental health specialists for careers in industry, universities
and government. The centers also deliver UC services directly to
the public through clinical services, labor/community education
programs, and continuing professional education. |
