HEALTH POLICY & POPULATION STUDIES​

This program is uniquely relevant to the communities in the region and the Arabian Gulf in particular. Graduates will acquire skills in health policy development and analysis, health systems research and epidemiology as well as an understanding of the important determinants of health in a population. It is aimed at graduates who wish to be involved in policy and decision making by undertaking policy analysis and developing appropriate approaches to health and healthcare needs in the government and private health sectors. The program is organized in four modules, each module having a face- to-face component of 4 weeks and an independent study component of 4 weeks where the students have to be at the college. In the independent study, students work on assignments in their home countries but continuously communicate with the faculty. ​
