公共卫生硕士（传统）-公共卫生管理与政策

公共卫生管理和政策（PHMP）的重点是公共卫生组织的结构和管理以及影响卫生计划和卫生服务报销的政策。集中包括公共卫生领域领导人的两个主要角色。经理和政策制定者的角色通常（尽管并非总是）由同一个人执行，并且这些角色所需的技能有很多重叠。要管理组织，必须具备会计，财务管理，人力资源，战略和计划规划，运营研究，经济学和监控结果度量方面的技能。政府政策的制定，分析，解释和评估需要分析能力和社交能力，以及对政治的深刻理解。
The population health management concentration focuses on providing comprehensive, authoritative strategies for improving the health care systems and health policies that affect health care quality, access, delivery, costs, and outcomes, ultimately improving the health of an entire population both nationally and internationally. The concentration encompasses two of the major roles of leaders, healthcare manager and policy developer in public health. To become a health care professional in population health management, skills in outcome measurement, health economics, strategic and program planning, community engagement, data analysis, operations research, and policy making are essential. Development, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of health care programs require both analytic skills and social skills, as well as a deep understanding of politics and economics. Our program provides interdisciplinary curriculum with a foundation of knowledge in health services, health economics, and health policy, and also teaches concepts, principles, and scientific skills necessary for population health management.<br><br>Students interested in PHM come from a variety of backgrounds. Many of them have majored in health services, policy, economics, business, or finance in their undergraduate programs, although students from the social and basic sciences, as well as many other fields, often find their way to PHM. Another large group of students has health professional backgrounds. These individuals are either current students of a health profession or they are current employees in public health, need of training and development in health policy, heath economics, and health services research.
