Jefferson School of Health Policy and Population Health

Good afternoon.The blog is picking up some speed!! I wanted to let everyone know about some new plans we have afoot on campus. We have been asked by the university President to begin the planning for a possible new school--that's right,a new school to join the other Health Care Colleges on the campus of Jefferson University. The new school is tentatively called, "The Jefferson School of Health Policy and Population Health" or JSHPPH. We plan to offer up to three Master's degress including the MPH,a Master's in Health Policy and a totally new degree, the Master's in Health Care Quality and Safety. I need your input here. What do you think about this new school idea?? What are the competencies that we should be seeking in each of the degree programs?? What sort of student should we seek?? I am very excited about all the possibilities here and will have more to say about this in the next few weeks but for now, I would like to hear from all of you about our challenge. Thanks for your support, DAVID NASH
