A new degree program - Population Health Management (PHM) - is being launched by Oregon Tech this fall to respond to a major paradigm shift underway in healthcare reform: the move from reactive care to comprehensive proactive care. As the first university in Oregon to launch a new program in what is called social medicine, PHM will help students understand the impact of social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors on healthcare systems and practices. The Population Health Management program is the only one of its type in the nation and one of only four undergraduate applied-sociology programs. In addition to new students interested in pursuing careers in the healthcare ecosystem, the degree program serves current healthcare practitioners who are already experienced in this field and are looking to enhance their training and career development through the study of comprehensive healthcare approaches in medical sociology. The PHM program will prepare students for various career paths within the healthcare industry, such as operations management, healthcare IT, healthcare delivery management, senior management positions in the health industry and hospitals, developing health care startups, and positions in global health organizations. tinyurl/mwpslbv
