Specialty AreasHealth PolicyUrban Regional Development and Infrastructure Social Policy Justice Policy Environment/Infrastructure Policy The Specialization in Health Policy focuses on applied research in the organization, delivery and financing of health care and population-based issues in health (including mental health). A multidisciplinary faculty in epidemiology, health economics and finance, health policy, medical sociology, bioethics, and health law is ideally suited to prepare quantitative health service researchers and health policy analysts. Qualified students without a relevant Master’s degree can prepare for the Ph.D. by completing coursework in the masters in health administration (MHA), the MA in medical sociology, or the MS in Health Promotion while enrolled in the PhD with a Specialization in Health Policy. Required courses for this specialty include: PPOL8661 Social Organization of Health Care PPOL8663 Health Policy PPOL8665 Analytic Epidemiology PPOL8667 Economics of Health and Health Care PPOL8669 Investigating Health and Health Services Students may also develop a focus in other related fields or
design their specialty based on faculty resources available. As with all
programs, such a program would need the approval of the student’s advisor and
the Director of the Program. Program faculty will continue to develop additional
substantive and methods courses. |
