Overview

The Health Policy and Management program from University of Kansas consists of 3 stages with prerequisite curriculum representing 6 core areas of health policy and management. Students are expected to maintain continuous enrollment and to complete in a minimum of 4 academic years.

Features

KUMC HP&M graduates conduct research in health policy, health services research, and public health including the causes and consequences of health disparities, how the healthcare system impacts the health and wellbeing of patients and workers, and the impacts of health policy on households with different socio-economic characteristics.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Stage 1 consists of basic courses in health policy, health care management, and quantitative and qualitative research methods.

A notable feature of this stage is that students begin to participate in the research process immediately upon beginning the program through a series of five 1-credit-hour immersion courses, taken within the first 2 semesters.

Stage 2 involves specialization in a specific substantive area of either policy or management research or a combination, as well as advanced statistical analysis and research methods.

Students also complete a teaching seminar and practicum.
