This accelerated dual-degree program was designed for accomplished, motivated healthcare practitioners educated at the bachelor’s level who desire a clinically-applicable, post-professional interdisciplinary doctoral degree. The program is specifically appropriate for those practitioners who have a strong desire to teach within the health disciplines at the graduate level or assume advanced professional and institutional leadership roles within the health care delivery system. The combined MHSc/DHSc provides rigorous academic exposure to a wide range of topics pertinent to clinicians, health administrators, and health professions educators, including epidemiology, healthcare finance, statistics and research methods, conflict resolution, leadership studies, professional writing, health policy, global health issues, evidence-based medicine, medical informatics, and medical quality assurance/risk management. Students have the opportunity to engage in internships within their home community and capstone research experiences. Graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience
to expand their professional roles in both clinical and non-clinical
arenas. Study is primarily non-residential, and utilizes
state of the art on-line course platforms that permit synchronous and
asynchronous learning experiences.
