Students at the CECS speak passionately about their reasons for coming to Dartmouth: they want health care to be technically better, more accessible, and more humane - goals not unlike those of their mentors.
The students come from three main walks of life, roughly in thirds: they are physicians, other health professionals, or recent college graduates. At CECS, they are exposed to a challenging curriculum, then invited to put it to work in an experiential learning environment.
The CECS offers three graduate degree programs: a Master of Science (M.S.), a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Evaluative Clinical Sciences. Both Masters degree programs build upon a rigorous core curriculum that provides an understanding of the challenges facing the U.S. health care system and a firm grounding in the skills required to evaluate and improve public health and health care. The Ph.D. program goes beyond the Masters degree by offering in-depth, multi-disciplinary training in the conduct of research and teaching in the areas of special expertise at the CECS. Joint programs with the Tuck School of Business and Dartmouth Medical School are also offered.
The overall goal of post-doctoral research training at CECS is to prepare scientists who can and will use the techniques of health services research throughout their careers in academic medicine or health policy. Upon completion of their post-doctoral training, they should be capable of assuming leading roles in the development and direction of sophisticated health services research. Research trainees will be encouraged to apply for independent career development support at the completion of this program.
