Curriculum

The Masters of Science Program in Health Policy Research prepares graduates for health services research and health policy research careers in academic, government, community, and industry settings.

This program is based in the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in collaboration with the Wharton School. The program is a joint venture between the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) and the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program (RWJ CSP) and is closely affiliated with the Annenberg School for Communication, the School of Social Policy and Practice, and the School of Nursing.

Health policy research investigates the organization, management, financing, and delivery of health care and the social forces that shape health in the US and the world. Health policy researchers are intrinsically multidisciplinary, using tools from a wide range of scientific disciplines to gain insight into the complex challenges facing health care.
