Overview
Graduates in the Health Services Research and Policy program at the University of Pittsburgh will be prepared to conduct research on policy issues affecting the organization, financing, and delivery of health care and public health services.
The field of public health is constantly evolving in response to the needs of communities and populations around the world. The underlying mission of public health is to improve the conditions and behaviors that affect health so that all people can attain it.
That mission includes not only the practice of public health policy, but the research of public health issues and the education of future leaders who eventually will translate that research into practices and policies to improve the health of people regionally, nationally, and globally.
