Health Services and Outcome Research
School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Program Overview
Health services research is a multidisciplinary field that requires researchers to apply concepts from variety of disciplines. A certificate in health services and outcome research contributes to the field by providing the targeted training to develop much needed and less emphasized skills in research design and methods for clinicians, physicians, nurses, medical students, and residents who wish to expand their knowledge on the aforementioned areas. Clinicians in many cases lead health services research studies, and this is despite the fact that there is often a gap in their knowledge of research designs and methods.
