The role of the School of Public Health at the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine in multidisciplinary training of physicians in occupational medicine.
The School of Public Health was opened on 30 June 1992 as an integral part of the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine. The late Director General of the Institute, Professor Janusz A. Indulski (1930-1999) was its initiator and founder. The School of Public Health is a scientific, research and didactic unit of the Nofer Institute. It offers post-graduate studies in the areas of occupational medicine, work hygiene, public health, environmental health, organization and management of health care and health promotion. The opportunity for multidisciplinary education of specialists in occupational medicine lies in the fact that the didactic process organized by the School is based on the knowledge, experience and skills of the Institutes' research workers. Lectures are provided by 100 persons, including 22 professors, 6 assistant professors and over 50 doctors. The didactic team also includes outstanding national and international experts (WHO, OECD, IAAE, etc.). During the last five years, the number of students increased from 1200 in 1996 to over 2200 by the end of 2000.
