The Center for Health Policy integrates health policy education and research at Harris, mobilizes health policy resources from across the University of Chicago, and serves as a platform for collaboration with best-in-class US and international schools. Through rigorous and innovative training and cross-national experiences, the center aims to develop a new class of healthcare leaders who carry global policy visions and are best prepared to answer challenges in health policy formulation and implementation.
Teaching in health policy at Harris is provided through its master’s and PhD programs and through a unique partnership with the Chicago Booth School of Business and the School of Social Service Administration, in the Graduate Program in Health Administration and Policy. Some executive courses are taught in condensed formats suitable for busy professionals seeking training outside traditional degree programs. Harris offers a wide variety of health policy courses: Comparative Healthcare Systems: Lessons and Opportunities for Reform; Health Economics; Advanced Methods in Comparative Effectiveness Research; Health Economics and Public Policy; Leadership and Negotiations in Healthcare; and From Health Policy to Clinical Practice, to name a few.
Research in health policy at the University of Chicago is performed by over 100 faculty at Harris, the Division of Biological Sciences (including the Pritzker School of Medicine), the School of Social Service Administration, Chicago Booth School of Business, the Social Sciences Division, and the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
