Support for Professional Practice in Occupational Health and Safety: A decisive step towards professionalization and prevention

The University proudly celebrates the Support for Professional Practice of the students of Technician and Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Health and Safety, a key stage in their academic training that marks the transition to professional practice.

This process represents a high-value academic commitment, particularly for those students who have developed their internships in strategic sectors such as construction, companies private and public, and in important megaprojects that drive the country's development.

Beyond validating the knowledge acquired in the classroom, this support demonstrates the capacity for analysis, diagnosis and proposal of solutions facing real risk conditions in complex work environments. Exposure before specialized juries allows for the assessment of the application of current regulations, preventive management methodologies and innovative strategies that demonstrate solid technical and ethical preparation.

This stage should not be considered a simple academic requirement, but rather a milestone in the consolidation of the professional profile, which reaffirms the commitment to the culture of prevention and occupational safety in Panama. The experience acquired in the field strengthens a critical and proactive vision in the face of the challenges of the productive environment, encouraging graduates to enter the market with an attitude of continuous improvement and social responsibility.

With this process, UMECIT reaffirms its commitment to training highly qualified professionals, capable of leading occupational risk management and promoting safe, sustainable, and healthy work environments for the benefit of society as a whole.
