- The goal of the program is the integration of Scholars’ previous clinical training with skills in program development and research methodology to help them find solutions for issues in public policy, community health and clinical practice.
- The program offers graduate-level study and research as part of a university-based postresidency training program. Former Scholars are currently involved in academic medicine, government and medical practice; many are developing and managing health care institutions and delivery systems in a variety of public and private settings; some are contributing to the formulation, conduct and evaluation of health-related public policy. Many also continue active research careers on important topics in health and medical care.
