About PhD Program,
The PhD in Health Policy and Management program at the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at Indianapolis trains students in the advanced analytical and methodological techniques of health services research to inform health policy and management within and across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
Didactic training is provided by an outstanding faculty with specialized expertise in health services research, including non-experimental research design, quantitative and qualitative analysis, administrative claims and electronic health records, health equity, and public and population health informatics.
Students are mentored in a collaborative environment with access to a rich array of opportunities to conduct research with local public health and health system partners as well as on projects funded by state and national agencies.
Alumni of the program have been successful as independent researchers in both academic settings and in public and private organizations. Their work has appeared in top tier, peer-reviewed publications, and has been used to inform policy and innovate practice to address health-related challenges in both Indiana and the nation.
To support this research, faculty members have a diverse research funding portfolio that includes grants and contracts from the NIH, AHRQ, SAMHSA, NCAA, CDC, and numerous Indiana state agencies.
You will have access to outside expertise through the department’s longstanding close collaborations with the IU School of Medicine, the Regenstrief Institute, the IU Kelley School of Business, the IU School of Nursing, the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, the Indiana Hospital Association, the Indiana State Department of Health, and top health systems and professional organizations throughout the state and nation.
