Health Policy Research Seminar
The Health Policy Research Seminar, in the division of Health Policy and Administration at UIC, offers an opportunity every Friday at noon to share, learn and participate in discussions surrounding health policy research during the Fall and Spring academic semesters. These research seminars will be presented by faculty at UIC and colleagues from other academic institutions. In addition to the research seminars, we offer a selection of Faculty Proseminars during these calendared sessions, designed to inform, advise and guide students on their careers in health policy research.
Seminar Highlights Heading link
Our seminars are open to everyone. To help identify which sessions meet your interests, we have grouped and entitled them as, external, internal and proseminars. External and internal sessions are intended for individuals interested in existing and developing health policy research. Proseminars are intended for graduate students pursuing a doctorate or comparable degree. Additional distinctions are outlined in the following columns:
External Speakers
External speakers present cutting-edge work in health policy. HPA faculty and students have the opportunity to participate in coordinated individual one-on-one (virtual) meetings.
Internal Presentations
Faculty and students present works in progress. After the presentation, attendees and presenters participate in conversations with the goal to provide feedback to the researchers and share ideas.
Proseminars
Faculty present information sessions and answer questions to assist students in their future research careers.
