5 Years On Campus Phd Program

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Program Overview

Health services research is a multidisciplinary field of study. Health services researchers examine how social factors, government policies, financing systems, organizational structures, and personal behaviors affect access to needed care, the quality of care provided, and the cost of care delivery. The focus of research is broad and includes individuals, families, providers, healthcare organizations, communities, and populations. The field of health services research is ultimately interested in both health, understood as health status and well-being, as well as health care, understood as the effective delivery of healthcare services. The doctoral program in health services research, policy, and administration is primarily for students interested in academic careers or senior research positions in government or the private sector.
