Venue description

The Department of Health Policy and Management (HPM) prepares students for positions of leadership in health care policy and management by giving them the knowledge and skills necessary to address fundamental issues in today’s complex and rapidly changing health care environment. The Department’s mission is to advance theory and practice that improve the public’s health, prevent disease, and strengthen the health care system and its component organizations. Our mission is fulfilled through research, education, and service that address the development and implementation of health policy and the administrative functioning of health systems and services. We believe that health policy and health care management are interdependent and our research and education programs are informed by this view. We approach health policy and management issues, including access to health care, organization and administration of health care delivery, and financing and quality of care, from a range of disciplinary and professional perspectives, in historical and social context, and informed by empirical evidence.

Accommodation details

Mailman School of Public Health students (MPH, MS, DrPH, PhD) access housing information through the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) Office of Housing Services. If you live outside a 50-mile radius of the Mailman School, you were mailed a CUMC on-campus housing application packet after you confirmed your intention to enroll and/or paid your deposit. [Please note that the number of on-campus housing slots is limited. As a result, all students are encouraged to consider and pursue off-campus housing options]. Any Mailman School student may access off-campus housing referral resources through the CUMC Office of Housing Services. Attention students entering degree programs in early summer: because of particularly limited availability of summer on-campus housing, we encourage students to prioritize off campus housing options.
