The master’s program in health and medical policy prepares students to become health policy decision-makers at the local, state, and national levels, to be consultants, to support the work of foundations, or to engage with public health and advocacy organizations in the US and abroad. Students graduate with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to assess health systems approaches; formulate new policies; and support policy development in health care financing, health and medical professional development, health systems innovation, and the allocation of scarce resources.
Students learn how health care is delivered and paid for, how well the health system performs from the individual and societal perspectives, and how formal and informal policymaking occurs.
