Continuing Education Program | Outreach Program
The activities of the Center's continuing education and outreach programs reach to the far corners of New England. The outreach program, a joint effort with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, networks with academic institutions, agencies, professional societies, public health departments, unions, and community associations to increase awareness of occupational safety and health issues and foster the development of a regional occupational safety and health network.
Mid-career training is offered through short-term courses for physicians, nurses, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, and other occupational safety and health professionals, paraprofessionals, and technicians. Up to 2,000 individuals per year subscribe to these professional level courses.
Participants select from a curriculum of over fifty courses each year, ranging from basic to advanced levels. Many of the courses draw an interdisciplinary audience. Continuing education credit is offered.

A modest fee structure and a generous discount and scholarship program are in place to ensure accessibility.

Outreach Program
The primary goal of this aspect of the program is to encourage the evolution of occupational safety and health training capabilities at other academic institutions.
Of particular note is the assembly for visiting scholars, which brings a select group of scholars representing institutions of higher education, state legislature, and other organizations to the Center once each month for an orientation to the field of occupational safety and health, meetings with faculty advisors and a program development seminar.
