Center for Health Policy, Columbia University - School of Nursing

Description

The Center for Health Policy is dedicated to supporting the training of nurses in health policy research methods, as well as developing and disseminating knowledge that informs health policymakers at all levels. Faculty members work with interdisciplinary partners at the local, state, and national levels to develop and evaluate policies aimed at improving public health. The center supports the training of nurses to help shape the national discussion on public health by providing opportunities for Columbia University School of Nursing students in all programs to learn how advocacy and policy are integral parts of nursing, affecting not only the life of each patient, but also the practice of each nurse. The center takes an active role in developing Columbia Nursing’s health policy classes and curriculum and collaborates with faculty to ensure health policy issues are integrated into coursework in all academic programs.
