Abstract
The doctoral degree is an innovative development in the American health care arena and offers the opportunity to investigate health care within the national and interdisciplinary context. The study of health care requires an awareness of new forms of information and ability to synthesize material from a wide range of disciplines and to communicate outcomes. This program is designed to meet the objective of healthy people for the year 2000 and beyond. Topics discussed include admission requirements, criteria for student intake, core courses, elective courses and career opportunities
