Welcome

Dr. Cecil B. Drain "This internet-based program is one of the first of its kind in the United States, unique in its joining of so many health related disciplines. With the increasing complexity of health care, there is a critical need for professionals with a broad spectrum of information in multiple fields."

Dr. Paula K. Kupstas "This program is unique in its interdisciplinary and hybrid design. It broadens the range of diverse and talented students to whom doctoral education is available, enabling a greater number to pursue Ph.D. degrees without interrupting careers or uprooting families. I hope to foster continued program innovations and interdisciplinary opportunities and sustain the recruitment and retention of these high-quality students who aspire to become the researchers, teachers and administrators so critically needed in the health-related sciences."
