College of Pharmacy > Pharmaceutical Health Outcomes and Policy, PhD
The Pharmaceutical Health Outcomes and Policy doctoral degree program at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy offers a learning and research environment that combines the collaborative opportunities of the Texas Medical Center’s world-class healthcare and scientific community with the academic resources and award-winning faculty at Houston’s only Carnegie Institute-designated Tier One public research university.
Pharmaceutical Health Outcomes and Policy (PHOP) consists of pharmaceutical practice and policy research - a multidisciplinary field of scientific investigation that examines cost, access, and quality of pharmaceutical care from clinical, socio-behavioral, economic, organizational and technological perspectives. Traditional and innovative areas of pharmaceutical health outcomes research include pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, comparative effectiveness research, patient-centered outcomes research, and translational research.
