Senate Bill 18-19-23
| Bill ID: | 18-19-23 |
| PCC ID: | 18042 |
| Name: | PCC Proposal to Rename the Ph.D. in "Health Services" to "Health Services Research" |
| Proposed: | 11/30/2018 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The Department of Health Services Administration would like to update the name of the PhD program in Health Services to "Health Services Research." Health Services Research is the official name of the academic discipline and Health Services is no longer used to describe the field. This revision to the name will better characterize our field of study and match peer institution PhD programs in Health Services Research, including at Boston University, Johns Hopkins, George Mason University, and Stanford. The name Health Services can be misleading, as it could describe the broader field of health care service delivery, rather than the specific research field of Health Services Research. |
