OHP Graduate Training Programs

University of Connecticut

Rob Henning (I/O Psychology), Vicki Magley (I/O Psychology), and Nick Warren (Ergonomics Technology Center, University of Connecticut Health Center) have established a new doctoral training program in "Work Organization and Health Psychology." This scientist-practitioner model of training within Industrial/Organizational Psychology includes a graduate certificate consisting of an OSH proseminar, field methods, lab or field research plus elective courses such as ergonomics and organizational stress. In addition to financial support from the I/O Division, students receive fellowship support to engage in OSH research over summer. Multidisciplinary research themes include the macroergonomics of hazard management and musculoskeletal disorders, gender discrimination and workplace civility, rest break schedules during computer-mediated work, health psychophysiology of work teams, and utility analyses for OSH programs.

Drs. Lois Tetrick and Barbara Ellis will lead the initiative to establish a specialty area of graduate study in OHP in the psychology department. They are currently developing a survey course in OHP for graduate students and individuals holding a doctorate in psychology who want additional training in OHP. Additionally, they are coordinating a series of lectures and workshops for faculty and graduate students to provide the basis for the development of an OHP methodology course. Faculty in industrial engineering and the Health Law and Policy Institute will collaborate with the psychology department to support the training program.
