Program Description

Dartmouth's multidisciplinary training program is designed to provide a rigorous preparation in the disciplines and methods needed to carry out research to improve the outcomes and effectiveness of health care. The program builds on the extensive ongoing research programs of the faculty at the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences (CECS) at Dartmouth and the Center's several graduate programs in the evaluative clinical sciences. CECS's educational programs include two masters degrees (M.S. and M.P.H.), a Ph.D., three postdoctoral programs and a Preventive Medicine Fellowship. CECS also participates in three dual degree programs at Dartmouth: M.D.-Ph.D., M.D.-M.P.H., and M.D.-M.B.A.

Predoctoral students complete coursework and research requirements for a Ph.D. in the evaluative clinical sciences. Students are trained in a multidisciplinary approach and typically pursue in-depth training in one of four areas: Health Policy (small area variations in health care and the organization and delivery of health care); Health Care Decision Making (including shared decision making, cost effective analyses, and the psychology of choice); Epidemiology and Biostatistics (quantitative techniques to assess outcomes and evaluative systems of care); and Quality Improvement (prevention of errors and improvement of care at the micro-system level). The masters degrees normally take 9 months to complete; a 2-year option is offered for more extensive training, including clinical postdoctoral fellows. The Ph.D. program typically accepts students with masters level training or experience in health care and takes 3 years to complete for those entering with a prior masters degree and 4 for others.
