Any PhD Public Health People out there?

[mollie]

Generally, I'm interested in provider behavior, in response to financial incentives, organizational structure, patient characteristics, etc... I applied for the health econ track, but I think my interests fall somewhere between econ and organizations. what about you? I did my MPH at Berkeley, and I've heard through the grapevine that it was a pretty big applicant group this year... so fingers crossed, right?

That's so funny. I also applied for econ as a primary concentration, but totally different interests; economic implications of innovation in the biotechnology / medical device sectors. I'm also interested in NA population health, so I requested a secondary concentration, as well. Don't know if that was a great idea, but realistically, few professors in this field limit themselves to one narrow topic.

I'm envious of your in-state status; it's a definite advantage because your tuition will be considerably less expensive to the program (that's straight from Dion). I'd love to hear about your research, time at Berkeley and POI but don't want to clutter the board... feel free to message me (I'm pretty sure you can email me from my profile).
