Health Policy and Health Economics
By studying current laws, regulations, policies, and processes, we can examine the intersection between health and economics within health systems, communities, cities, states, or nationwide. Recent health policy and health economics projects:

Workforce Development
As Texas continues to grow, we need our healthcare and public workforce to meet today’s and future needs. Workforce development efforts ensure that healthcare and public health systems have the capacity and expertise to deliver essential services, respond to emergencies, and improve health outcomes.
