The program shares courses with other Jefferson PhD programs and is embedded in a framework of social justice and health equity to spark innovative solutions to healthcare problems.
Content delivery will include synchronous in-person and interactive e-learning modules and asynchronous online collaboration/activities under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
