Students interested in Implementation and Dissemination Science will have the opportunity to learn about a field that is quickly emerging worldwide. With this degree, students will be able to study methods that promote systematic uptake and translate the results of clinical and population research into everyday clinical practice and public health. We also intend to help students ensure that the knowledge and materials produced by health research will improve individual and population health. 

This curriculum prepares student to understand and analyze the key elements of program monitoring and evaluation: assess population health needs using qualitative and quantitative information, identify key program elements and their implementation, monitor the program’s cost and efficiency, and evaluate the success of implementation, including program outcomes.
