PhD Snapshot
We are a community dedicated to advancing public health through rigorous research and meaningful impact.
Our PhD program, housed within the Program in Public Health, offers two dynamic concentrations: Population Health and Clinical Outcomes Research. While both tracks share a strong core curriculum, each allows you to tailor your studies to your specific interests and career goals. Working under faculty mentor guidance, student projects focus on current problems affecting population health, health policy, and health care decisions.
