Ph.D. in Health Services Research, Policy, and Administration
Health services research focuses on the organization, financing, and delivery of health care services. The Health Services Research, Policy, and Administration program (HSRP&A), housed in the Division of Health Policy and Management, deals with policy issues related to costs, access, and quality of health services, as well as equitable access to health resources.
The Ph.D. in Health Services Research, Policy and Administration trains students for positions as researchers and teachers in top research universities, in government agencies at the state and federal level, and in the research arms of private health insurance, provider, or consulting organizations.
The doctoral program's faculty are nationally and internationally renowned scholars and researchers who are experts in their respective fields. The program is also known for its rigorous training in quantitative research methods and for its emphasis on economic, sociological and political theory as a basis for analyzing health services issues.
Students enter the Ph.D. program with a wide variety of educational backgrounds such as biology, nursing, economics, sociology, business administration, computer science, or mathematics.
The PhD-HSRP&A is part of the University of Minnesota's graduate school degree programs. The program director is Kathleen Call.
