The training of ergonomists in an industrially developing country like Colombia carries particular significance and impact due to its potential to address societal challenges, including informal work, gender inequality, access to quality and safe health services, employment, decent jobs, and economic development. These complex issues require a holistic and systemic approach, as advocated by ergonomics/human factors principles. This paper presents the curriculum content, achievements, and challenges of the Ergonomics Specialization program at the National School of Public Health of the University of Antioquia (UdeA), Colombia. This one-year postgraduate program has graduated 99 ergonomics specialists from different undergraduate degrees (e.g., physical therapists, engineers, physicians, psychologists, administrators, and architects) and other regions of the country. Also, this program has evolved into a significant pathway for professional development and employment opportunities, with women comprising over 75% of graduates in the last five cohorts. We hope that the Ergonomics Specialization program presented in this paper serves as a reference to drive the development and application of ergonomics in Latin America (Latam).
