卫生政策与管理哲学博士-卫生经济学与政策

集中在卫生经济学和政策学方面的博士生为进行有关卫生和保健经济学的创新性和严格的研究做好准备。卫生经济学是一门研究领域，将经济分析的理论概念和经验方法应用于整个卫生部门的各种问题，范围从了解潜在的患者，提供者和保险人的行为到评估各种医疗干预措施。
The curriculum offers a broad exposure to the health economics literature and public health disciplines, and stresses the policy implications of these fields of research. The curriculum stresses a foundation in applied modern microeconomic theory, economic evaluation, quantitative methods and econometrics, including PhD-level courses from the Department of Economics in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Doctoral students are paired with a faculty adviser from the Health Economics concentration with similar research interests. Faculty in the Health Economics concentration are working in a variety of research areas including understanding health insurance design, the economic implications of health and health care disparities, market forces and health care prices, pharmaceutical economics, and payment design and access. Doctoral students will also have the opportunity to work with other faculty within the Department, as well as faculty from other Departments including International Health, Population, Family, and Reproductive Health, Biostatistics, the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, the Carey Business School, and the Department of Economics. Students also often work with various centers and initiatives across the University, including the Hopkins Business of Health Initiative.
