History of health and public policy?

Hi Historians,

I'm mainly going to be applying to public health and public policy programmes. A few of these are joint programmes with history "tracks" and it occurs to me that there are probably programmes wholly within history departments that I should check out too.

My interests intersect poli sci, public policy and health, and I want to look at health policy making in different political climates. None of the history of medicine programmes I've looked at so far have been quite what I'm looking for. UPenn's history of sociology looks promising.

Can anyone suggest any other programmes I should consider? I am an international student and so don't have advisors familiar with the specialties of American schools. Even a pointer to a society or journal where I could get a sense of who's who would be helpful.

Ta muchly.

One program comes to mind, only because I have a friend who's doing her PhD on history of medical/health policies. Check out SUNY Albany. Definitely apply for MPH- my friend has to do it while doing her PhD because her advisor told her so.....
