Program Faculty

Faculty are involved locally, nationally, and internationally in health services research and policy. They are developing and testing interventions and translating research into practice. They play an important role in improving health and shaping health care systems and policy world-wide.
By participating in myriad organizations and associations outside of the UW, members of the faculty are able to provide relevant experience and opportunities to graduate students.
