Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper proposes an integrated approach to graduate food safety education, focusing on multidisciplinary educational and research themes. The educational component encompasses specific courses in the disciplines of food science, agricultural sciences, veterinary medical sciences, epidemiology and public health, quantitative risk assessment, and public policy. For the research component, six specific areas are identified: pre- and post-harvest food safety, emerging foodborne pathogens, rapid and improved detection methods, epidemiological investigation of foodborne disease, risk assessment and analysis, and consumer education. The integrated graduate education approach will significantly benefit students, but it will also benefit society by serving as a model for the effective training of future food safety professionals.
