"What I'm finding most enjoyable about my experience thus far is being surrounded by extremely talented students and faculty that you can learn from on a daily basis. Everyone brings their own experience and knowledge to the table, and the diversity of the student population allows you to easily get the most out of your time at Berkeley both in and outside the classroom."AREAS OF CONCENTRATION

The mission of the Graduate Program in Health Policy and Management (HPM) is to promote and protect the public's health through the preparation of graduates for careers leading toward senior level leadership in health services policy and management, and to conduct research and disseminate knowledge that will advance the organization, financing, and delivery of health and medical services.
The program trains health management and policy leaders in health care delivery, managed care, insurance, consulting, biotechnology, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. HPM students are also trained in biostatistics, epidemiology, policy analysis, health promotion and disease prevention, health economics, the organization of health and medical care systems, strategic management, organizational behavior, health finance, health information technology, medical technology, health information technology, law and ethics.
The HPM Program sees research as an integral component of its mission. Program faculty engage in basic and applied research that broadens the educational experience and expands the state of knowledge about how health services systems work. Faculty research on issues in the financing, organization, and delivery of health and medical services is fundamental to the quality of the program. Moreover, the dissemination of new knowledge generated through publishing and continuing education activities contributes to efforts to improve the availability, affordability, and effectiveness of health services and develop policies that reinforce these objectives.
