    PhD Programs in Health Care

    Students studying in the field of healthcare are training to be leaders, managers and professionals, focusing on the organization, structure and delivery of healthcare. There are many potential employment opportunities. Students have an opportunity to serve people in all segments of society by helping to improve personal and public health.

    There are several institutions for higher learning located throughout Puerto Rico, with The University of Puerto Rico being the oldest and largest. As a territory of the United States, citizens may have access to additional opportunities for education.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
