WHAT IS METPHAST

The Midwest Emerging Technologies Public Health and Safety Training Program (METPHAST) is a multi-institutional education program that develops and disseminates web-based modules to educate and train a variety of learners about health and safety issues associated with emerging technologies. Currently, the program is focusing on educational materials related to nanotechnology health and safety.

The objective of the METPHAST Program is to develop a comprehensive array of focused, web-based modules that can be used flexibly to meet the unique needs of different groups of learners.
