University: University of Arizona, College of Pharmacy
Department: Department of Pharmaceutical Economics, Policy, and Outcomes Research
Location: Tucson, AZ, USAThe graduate degrees offered by the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science's Division of Social and Administrative Sciences are the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) and the master of science (M.S.) in pharmaceutical sciences with an emphasis in pharmaceutical economics, policy, and outcomes research. The goal of the M.S. program is to provide the individual with the essential skills and abilities to assume managerial and leadership positions related to the economic analysis and outcomes of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical services in health care organizations. The goal of the Ph.D. program is to provide the individual with an advanced knowledge base and extensive research skills to enable him or her to investigate and critically analyze the impact and outcomes of pharmaceutical products and services within health care systems. The widespread benefits of pharmaceuticals in today's society, coupled with an increased utilization and application of pharmaceutical services, has created a need for individuals with advanced training in pharmaceutical economics and outcomes research.

http://www.berkeley.edu - University of Michigan: PhD in Health Services Organization and Policy
University: University of Michigan
Department: Department of Health Management and Policy
Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USAThe doctoral program in Health Services Organization and Policy is offered by the department of Health Management and Policy in the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. The HSOP Program leads to a PhD conferred by the University of Michigan's Rackham School of Graduate Studies and prepares students for careers in research, teaching, and policy analysis in the broad fields of health services and health policy.
One of the most attractive features of the HSOP program is its strong focus on a social science cognate. Students leave our program trained in both health services research and a cognate field that gives them a theory perspective on the applied issues of health services. Cognates featured are economics, political science, finance, sociology/organizational theory, and interdisciplinary studies. We strongly believe that command of a cognate field's theory perspectives are essential to bringing a theoretical perspective to research, and there is no better way to facilitate success in dissertation writing and career-long publication. Students take the equivalent of a master's degree in their cognate at one of UM's outstanding departments. In addition, each student must master applicable research design and data analysis methodologies, concentrating during the course of studies on the application of these methods to problems and issues in health services and health policy.
