Occupational Health Services Research and Policy
 
 
Introduction to the Program

The Division of Environmental Health Sciences (EnHS), and the Division of Health Policy and Management (HPM) in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota have established a collaborative doctoral-level education and training program in occupational health services research and policy. This new program builds on existing doctoral programs offered by both divisions. Students may enter through either division. All students will take a rigorous two year program in statistics, research design, sampling, survey methodology, econometrics, health economics, occupational and environmental epidemiology and toxicology, exposure assessment and policy. Doctoral students in EnHS will obtain a minor in health services research, policy and administration. Doctoral students in HPM will complete supporting course work in environmental and occupational health. (read more)
