The Environmental Toxicology program offers advanced courses and laboratory research on the relationships between environmental exposure and human diseases. Emphasis is placed on developing skills to acquire a better understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The curriculum emphasizes current knowledge of cell and molecular biology and physiology to provide basic understanding of sources of exposure, dose deposition, and fate of chemicals in the body. New research facilities are equipped with modern instrumentation. Ph. D. graduates are encouraged to be independent scholars, and have wide career choices in academia, industry, and the federal government.
Alumni hold prestigious positions internationally.
The M.S. program includes an internship. Both the Epidemiology and the Biostatistics programs offer numerous opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills by working with faculty on research projects in a variety of epidemiology and statistics-based studies. The Occupational and Environmental Medicine program is a clinical and research training program for physicians concerned with the sources, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries resulting from exposure to chemical and physical agents, products, or processes at work or within the community. The Occupational Medicine Residency Training Program at the University of Cincinnati is the oldest continuously operating Occupational Medicine residency in the United States. On average, four residents graduate from the program on a yearly basis.
