Center for Healthcare Policy and Research Seminar Series
Seminar Series
The CHPR Seminar Series typically focuses on research-in-progress (at any stage), recently completed research, innovative research methods, policy implications of health services research, pre-proposal discussion of research ideas or plans, or "practice presentations" for abstracts accepted for regional or national meetings. Faculty, graduate students, and non-faculty researchers with a focus on health policy or health services are encouraged to present. In addition, this is a great opportunity for presenting dissertations, thesis proposals, or thesis findings.
The weekly seminars are held Wednesdays, 12-1 pm during the academic year, with a hiatus during the months of July and August. The seminars are usually located at the UCD Medical Education Building, Room 3207 (see schedule to confirm location). Seminars are open to all CHPR members, staff, students, and researchers external to UCD. Continuing Medical Education credit is available to practicing physicians for most sessions. Students taking EPI 291 may earn 1 unit of course credit for each quarter of regular seminar attendance.
We welcome presentations from health policy and research professionals both internal and external to the University. To be placed on the schedule, please contact:
