A new graduate program designed for health care professionals who work with the chronically ill will be offered in January 1988 at Washington University in St. Louis.
The Master of Health Science Program in Health Care Services (M.H.S.) is an interdisciplinary program that emphasizes clinical and research expertise as a foundation for planning innovative programs for the chronically ill. M.H.S. courses will be offered during flexible hours to health care professionals with a bachelor’s degree in related health care fields. Students enrolled in the 30-credit program will be exposed to the latest state-of-the-art research on chronic diseases.
The program is sponsored by Washington University’s School of Medicine, Department of Psychology, and University College—the evening division of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Washington University established the program in response to “an increasing demand for health professionals who can develop unique services for the chronically ill—from the more traditional health care program to those with the preventive health focus of the future,” says Debra Haire-Joshu, M.H.S. coordinator.
The M.H.S. curriculum includes five required courses with elective courses selected from the schools of medicine, business, social work and the education and psychology departments at Washington University.
