Southern California Education and Research Center

SCERC provides students with opportunities to engage in occupational health outreach activities, apply their knowledge beyond the classroom, and collaborate with communities and partners to advance worker health and safety.

Students, faculty, staff, and occupational health professionals come together through interdisciplinary activities, including worksite visits, to explore workplace hazards, learn about exposure controls, and exchange knowledge across disciplines.

SCERC organizes professional development opportunities that showcase Center research, facilitate knowledge exchange, and promote the translation of research findings into occupational health and safety practice.

SCERC's Continuing Education (CE) Program offers virtual and in-person courses to support the professional development of occupational health and safety professionals, employers, workers, and other interested audiences.
