## Abstract

Abstract
Health Services Research Training
The goal of the training program is to recruit academically promising individuals at both the
predoctoral and postdoctoral levels into health services research careers, and to challenge them to
address key problems in the field. We do this by providing trainees with the conceptual and
analytic skills required to address a broad range of health service research issues. Trainees will
be based in the Department of Health Management and Policy (HMP) in the University of
Michigan's School of Public Health and the Center for Health Care Outcomes and Policy
(CHOP), with collaboration from the Department of Learning Health Sciences (LHS). The
program also takes advantage of the broader resources of the University of Michigan, including
training opportunities available through the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI)
and the sixteen statewide Collaborative Quality Initiatives coordinated through the University.
To achieve this goal, the program aims to: (a) provide trainees with a sound academic
background, research training, and socialization in health services and health services research;
(b) recruit and provide financial support for diverse trainees, faculty, and researchers concerned
with issues of health and health policy.
The program will sponsor five predoctoral and two postdoctoral traineeship positions annually
over five years. The traineeship experience includes: course work in health services concepts and
issues as well as health services research methods; active involvement in ongoing research
programs; participation in seminars and professional conferences; structured interchange across
disciplines and occupations; and guidance and ethical research practices. The training experience
will provide trainees the ability to develop a specific research program to guide their future work.
As a result of this training, trainees will develop skills in relevant disciplinary areas (e.g.,
economics, sociology, political science, decision sciences/operations research) and health services
content and research methods.
