U.S. Health Track Requirements

GPHAP-Grad-Group-PhotoSupporting interdisciplinary professionals to become innovators in U.S. health care

 

We witness amazing advances in health care all the time. However, despite these transformative improvements, health care in the United States still costs too much, and quality, access, and equity are not assured. The issues facing health care are so complex and broad that they require a robust, multi-disciplinary approach and a willingness to explore new models to fully deal with them. The University of Chicago has recognized this and has therefore created a unique health policy and administration program that draws on students and faculty from business, law, medicine, policy, and social services.

I now truly believe that the best, most innovative, and impactful solutions have to come from interdisciplinary teams that build on the strengths of different healthcare fields.
