Two New Courses Approved for Offer by the Department of HPME
The Executive Committee of Division IV of the School of Graduate Studies reviewed and approved the following two new courses for offer as of academic year 2001/2002 by the Graduate Department of HPME.
HAD 5772H - Intermediate Statistics for Health Services Research
Instructor: Michael Murray, PhD
This course is designed to give all PhD students in the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, regardless of program or concentration, a working knowledge of statistical analysis techniques relevant to health services research. Topics include such things as t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, regression, multiple regression, logistic regression, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and statistical process control procedures. This course stresses a "hands-on" practical approach to
statistical analysis in health services research. Each technique will be introduced by readings and a lecture. Students will then work through computer printouts and published articles to understand the translation of equations and formulae to practice. Students will have the opportunity to run computer analyses relevant to each technique using databases provided in a computer lab using SPSS.
HAD 5011H - Canada's Health Care System and Health Policy - Research Stream
Instructor: A. Paul Williams, PhD
HAD 5011 is new course which is compulsory for all PhD students in the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation. It is meant to ensure that all graduates of the PhD program have a developed understanding of current health policy issues and a capacity to conduct policy analysis. The course will be taught in conjunction with HAD 5010H - Canada's Health Care System and Health Policy: Part 1 (Professional Stream), sharing the same classroom components including panels and presentations focussing on current health policy issues. However, course faculty will conduct the tutorials in HAD 5011H as well as the evaluation to ensure a more extensive mastery of theory and literature.
