The Advanced Practice Environmental and Occupational Health (APEOH) graduate certificate is designed for post-baccalaureate professionals across all disciplines and for current graduate and professional students at the University of Washington. This program aims to enhance your expertise in environmental and occupational health nursing. Environmental exposures contribute to over a quarter of the global disease burden, with children facing a significant portion of this risk. Nursing plays a crucial role in tackling these issues across individuals, families, communities, and populations-especially when equipped with the right tools and support to address the root causes of disease and disability. Occupational settings, where people spend considerable time, are a key area where health is impacted by environmental factors. Poor worker health results in billions of dollars in losses for businesses each year. Nursing has a longstanding tradition of promoting health and wellness, preventing illness and injury, and safeguarding workers from both work-related and environmental hazards. In this graduate certificate program, you’ll explore various aspects of environmental and occupational health, from health disparities and social determinants to specific factors like water quality or work stress, and methods such as quantitative risk assessment.
