WIDTH

Workshop for Integrating and Discussing Topics in Healthcare

WIDTH is an interdisciplinary forum for doctoral students to discuss their dissertation topics, research ideas, and results with other graduate students, faculty, and staff who have similar interests in health services and policy research but belong to different cognates or departments. WIDTH participants will gain insight into a variety of research methods and theoretical approaches, which could potentially stimulate ideas about how to integrate similar techniques or concepts with their own research. In addition, WIDTH offers professional development workshops for doctoral students and candidates in the health services and policy research field. 

Members of the WIDTH community are asked to provide constructive feedback that is rooted in respect for their colleagues and does not compromise WIDTH's intent to be a welcoming and inclusive space for all of its participants.

We would like to thank the Rackham Graduate School for generously funding WIDTH through its program for interdisciplinary workshops.
