Welcome to The Masters of Science Program in Health Policy Research

Program & Goals

This is a two-year training program in health services research that will lead to a Master of Science Degree. The program is based in the Perelman School of Medicine as a collaborative effort with the Wharton School and a joint venture of the Leonard Davis Institute (LDI) and the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program (RWJ CSP). The program is closely affiliated with the Annenberg School for Communication, the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Social Policy and Practice, and the School of Nursing.

The primary goals of the Master of Science in Health Policy Research training program are to train outstanding investigators in health services and policy research and prepare students for successful careers in academics, government, non-profit, and industry. Health policy research investigates the clinical, public health, economic, and societal impact of health care and health policy. It also brings a broad vision to improving the delivery of health care in the US and abroad. Health policy researchers are intrinsically multi-disciplinary, using tools from a wide range of scientific disciplines to gain insight into the complex challenges facing health care.
