The Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program offered in Health Policy and Management is focused on Health Care Management and Leadership. The focus of the program is on measuring, monitoring and improving the clinical and financial performance of health services organizations, as well as training leaders for organizational change. The program curriculum is based on the Malcolm Baldridge Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence framework and targets those who have master?s level training related to health care management. The DrPH in Health Care Management and Leadership is principally designed for part-time students working fulltime during their enrollment in the program. It is expected that students will complete the required coursework over a three-year period while participating in program activities. These activities include seminars, research, journal clubs and other opportunities to promote interaction among program students and faculty. After the completion of most coursework, students will sit for the written comprehensive exam. Students then present themselves for the preliminary oral examinations (departmental and schoolwide), after which they may begin substantive work on their dissertation. It is possible to complete the DrPH, including dissertation work, within a five to nine-year period. Students will have up to nine years, if needed, to complete the program requirements.
