University of Michigan: PhD in Health Services Organization and Policy
University: University of Michigan
Department: Department of Health Management and Policy
Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USA
The doctoral program in Health Services Organization and Policy is offered by the department of Health Management and Policy in the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. The HSOP Program leads to a PhD conferred by the University of Michigan's Rackham School of Graduate Studies and prepares students for careers in research, teaching, and policy analysis in the broad fields of health services and health policy.
One of the most attractive features of the HSOP program is its strong focus on a social science cognate. Students leave our program trained in both health services research and a cognate field that gives them a theory perspective on the applied issues of health services. Cognates featured are economics, political science, finance, sociology/organizational theory, and interdisciplinary studies. We strongly believe that command of a cognate field's theory perspectives are essential to bringing a theoretical perspective to research, and there is no better way to facilitate success in dissertation writing and career-long publication. Students take the equivalent of a master's degree in their cognate at one of UM's outstanding departments. In addition, each student must master applicable research design and data analysis methodologies, concentrating during the course of studies on the application of these methods to problems and issues in health services and health policy.
