Will this program impact existing programs and/or organizational units within your institution? Yes, the MPH concentration in Population Health Management will no longer be offered as a concentration option within the MPH Program. We expect that students interested in that concentration will be happier within the MSHA curriculum. Many of the changes being proposed are due to feedback from current students within the MPH Population Health Management concentration.

Integrate and illustrate core policy concepts from policy precedent, policy structure, policy process, and policy analysis learned in items 1 – 5, above, to assess the appropriateness of current policy proposals and advocacy approaches in one or more key areas, at the federal, state, and/or local level(s). (Analysis) Demonstrate strong written and orally persuasive policy analytic skills. (Analysis) Demonstrate an ability to synthesize policy issues and problems objectively while developing a consistent philosophy about and approach to participation in the policy process. (Synthesis) The MPH-Population Health Management concentration is linked to the National Center for Healthcare Leadership competency model and this course corresponds to the competency model as follows: Learning Objective Competency Assessment Describe core concepts of policy-relevant historical, philosophical, political, and legal precedent in guiding ongoing and future policy proposals, processes, and accountabilities. L3.2 Analytical Thinking: Identifies Relationships Identifies the cause and effect relationship between two aspects of a situation; Separates situations into two parts: pro and con; Sorts out a list of tasks in order of importance Class Discussion Guest Speaker Describe core concepts involving legal system structure and process. L11.1 Information Seeking: Consults Available Resources Asks direct questions of the people who are knowledgeable about the situation, such as people who are directly involved; Uses readily available information, or consults other resources Class Discussions Guest Speaker Evaluate the core elements of the policy development process. L11.2 Information Seeking: Investigates Beyond Routine Questions Conducts preliminary investigations regarding a problem or situation beyond routine questioning; Finds those closest to the problem and investigates further, such as asking, “What happened?” Guest Speakers Class Discussion Analyze the policy process structure and key actors (by category of interest): a) Legislature, b) Executive, c) Interest Groups, and d) Bureaucracy. L3.3 Analytical Thinking: Recognizes Multiple Relationships Makes multiple causal links; several potential causes of events, several consequences of actions, or multiple-part chain of events (A leads to B leads to C leads to D); Analyses relationships among several parts of a problem or situation (e.g., anticipates obstacles and thinks ahead about next steps, in detail, with multiple steps) Class Discussions Individual Policy Analysis Group Policy Analysis core economic and political policy analytic tools required L14.3 Innovative Thinking: Applies and True” Concepts or Trends Class Discussions
