Health Services Research & Administration

New ways of thinking about health care and its delivery are vital to ensuring people live productive healthy lives – it’s why we’re here.

We focus on teaching and research that is actionable and specialize in understanding and transforming care delivery systems. We also target and find the best solutions for issues at the intersection of primary care and public health. Together, we collaboratively examine emerging threats in healthcare and work to prevent them from happening in the future. 

From innovative health delivery to population health to process management — there has never been a better time to pursue the field of health services administration and the opportunities within applied research, health policy and operations management. Building the skills for future leaders to make an impact is central to our mission.

Healthcare administration is rich with opportunities both internationally and in the U.S., where demand for medical and health services managers is expected to increase by 28% in the next decade. Our department's work creates opportunities for our students, researchers and partners to make meaningful impacts.
