The Health and Health Care Research (HHCR) program is a one-year (two semester) master’s degree program (M.Sc.) designed for clinicians who want to gain expertise in health policy, the sociocultural determinants of health, and an array of methods relevant to health services research.
A limited number of clinicians are accepted every year to the tuition-based master’s program and study alongside scholars admitted to the two-year IHPI National Clinician Scholars Programs. Total class size is limited to 20.
Interested applicants should contact the Program Coordinators, Brenette Logan ([email protected]) and Brittany Weatherwax ([email protected]) as soon as possible to schedule a meeting with the Program Director. They will also need to have a mentor from their department contact the Program Director to discuss the curriculum and program expectations. Applicants will then be notified by email regarding the next steps in the admission process for enrollment in the fall.
