| PCC ID: | 18043 |
| Name: | PCC Proposal to Rename the Department of "Health Services Administration" to "Health Policy and Management" |
| Proposed: | 11/30/2018 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The Department of Health Services Administration requests a name change to Department of Health Policy and Management. The name will more accurately reflect the 5 degree programs offered and the broader expertise of the faculty. We offer an MPH in Health Policy Analysis and Evaluation, MPH in Health Equity, MPH in Public Health Practice and Policy, a Masters in Health Administration (MHA), and a PhD in Health Services. The Department of Health Services Administration's name is outdated and was created in 2007 when the only Masters program was the MHA degree. Now that our faculty has expanded and we have multiple masters programs, we would like to update the name to Department of Health Policy and Management. This name change will also improve our ability to recruit students and gain recognition for the broader set of research and educational programs we engage in. Equivalent departments at peer institutions are named Health Policy and Management (UCLA, UC Berkeley, Yale) or Health Management and Policy (Michigan). The Schools of Public Policy and Business have submitted letters in support of our requested name change. |
