Department of Health Policy and Management (HPMG)
Welcome Message from the Department Chair
The Department of Health Policy and Management is committed to educating and training an interdisciplinary workforce that will promote evidence-based practices and advance health equity. Our department provides a training program that will equip the next generation of healthcare leaders with the skills necessary to bring evidence-informed and community-engaged solutions to healthcare systems. Whether in scholarship, teaching, or service, our Department is grounded in a shared commitment to improve the health of all communities. Our Department fulfills this mission by conducting cutting-edge scholarships as well as providing multiple academic programs, including an MPH Concentration in Health Policy and Management (HPMG) and both an MPH In Healthcare Administration (HCAD) and a Masters of Healthcare Administration.
Students in the MPH program in HPMG are equipped with the skills needed to develop and implement healthcare policies, conduct policy analyses, and work in governmental, healthcare, and public health sectors. In the HPMG concentration, coursework is designed to provide the foundational skills necessary for students to develop, implement, and improve health policies and management strategies. By doing so, our Health Policy and Management concentration equips students to create and advocate for evidence-informed policies.
Sincerely,
Denise M. Bruno, MD, MPH
