The Health & Society Scholars Program at the University of Michigan emphasizes the importance of linking a multi-level array of causal factors to understand and improve population health and eliminate the great health disparities within our society.
We offer Program scholars the following experience:
- Our three co-directors, our steering committee of 15 faculty, and more than 70 additional faculty members have published extensively on the core topics of the Health & Society Scholars Program in more than 1000 scientific articles, which have been cited over 14,000 times by other authors.
- Scholars pursue an active research program and participate in intensive seminars, including Foundations of Population Health, Population Health Research Seminars, Research Methods in Population Health, a Faculty/scholars Seminar, a scholars tutorial, focusing on leadership, and Career Development in Population Health.
- Multiple mentors, representing the Program, and scholars' home disciplines and their special research interests, work with the scholar to provide a productive two-year experience.
- Scholars determine their own research agenda and have extensive resources and opportunities to gain experience in primary and secondary data design and analysis of the determinants of health and health disparities.
We are committed as researchers and teachers to meeting the national need for increased training of future leaders and scholars who understand the links between society and health. We have exceptional faculty with considerable expertise in this area, a large and varied set of institutional and community resources, and an internationally recognized record of commitment to interdisciplinary training.
