Agricultural Safety & Health
Heartland Center trainees in Agricultural Safety and Health become professionals with the knowledge and skills to anticipate, detect, diagnose, evaluate and control the health and safety hazards of agricultural workers.
Graduates have gone on to set up medical practices in rural areas, to conduct research for NIOSH, to serve as professors in academic institutions, and many other activities that promote greater protection for this important population.
