This is a unique multi-day training with a primary focus on reducing the risk of injury to children in agricultural settings. Classroom training in injury prevention, agricultural health and safety, child development, needs assessment, and consulting will be enhanced with the opportunity for teams to consult with a community-based organization. A final presentation will be made to faculty, students, and community representatives of the organization on the team's program assessment. The intended audience is any person who works on the community, state, or national level to protect children in agricultural environments.
Discounts are available for multiple persons from the same organization.
This seminar is supported by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and Marshfield Clinic. This one-week intensive course is for professionals new to the field of injury prevention and those who seek to broaden or advance their basic skills and knowledge. Many of the nation's leading experts in injury control from Johns Hopkins and from other institutions conduct the lectures and discussions. Small group exercises are held daily which enable participants to apply what they've learned in lecture and integrate this with previous experience. The week culminates with student presentations of their small group projects.
