Health policy

What is it about?

The article 'Health Policy: Timely and Interdisciplinary' overviews an impressive curriculum in public health. The innovators of this curriculum suggest that all accredited doctoral programs should be required to offer a similar course. Although inspirational, the curriculum relies on a range of resources that may preclude similar offerings elsewhere. Moreover, the evidence-base is not sufficiently developed at this time to support the contention that health policy competency is necessary across all developed practice areas. The field is challenged to cultivate a scientific base of quasiexperimental, experimental, and meta-analytic studies for evidence-based training decisions.
