The doctoral program is designed so that each student-researcher works closely with a faculty advisor and his or her research group to design a course of study and participate in ongoing research.<\/p>\n<p>The doctoral program involves a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates relevant theories, methodological strategies, and evidence from a variety of fields. Disciplines represented by the faculty include clinical medicine, decision science, economics, epidemiology, health services research, geography, political science, psychology, public health, and sociology.<\/p>\n<p>PhD students are encouraged to investigate a specialized area in-depth while also gaining an informed appreciation of other core areas. They are trained in independent and team-based strategies to integrate these perspectives into research. Our PhD graduates are expected to further the development of these core areas, to lead in the design, initiation and management of effective change in health care, and to contribute to the education of future scholars in health policy and clinical practice. Graduates of the doctoral program go into academic, government, and corporate positions involving health services research and health policy.<\/p>\n<p>Recent dissertation topics that PhD students have worked on include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Digital technology for health promotion among individuals with serious mental illness<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Treatment decision making in multi-vessel coronary artery disease<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Serious choices: Decision-making support for seriously ill patients at risk of death<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Patient-centered communication about early abortion methods in the United States\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about the PhD curriculum and program structure, review our <a href=\"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/tdi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2024\/01\/TDI-PhD-Handbook2023Nov.pdf\">TDI PhD Handbook<\/a>.
