Overview

The PhD in Health Sciences at The University of Texas at San Antonio is designed to be delivered as a hybrid-blended program and is a broad-based, interdisciplinary/interprofessional degree that will allow graduates to place their individual health field in the context of the allied health disciplines, the health care delivery system as a whole, and the larger issues of health and wellness across the continuum of the health care system.

Objective/Program Outcomes

The educational objectives of the program are designed to prepare outstanding allied health professionals to assume major educational, leadership, and research positions within their professions, as well as to provide career advancement opportunities. The program will prepare individuals for careers as faculty in colleges and universities, as educators in multiple settings, as outcome and health services researchers and as leaders within allied health, and more broadly, within health care and higher education. The program is unique in Texas, providing an interdisciplinary/ interprofessional health science core and the opportunity to take additional, discipline-specific course work and engage in research relevant to allied health. The outcome of the program will be a graduate who can address the larger issues of health and wellness across the health care continuum.
