PhD in Health

The Doctorate in Health proposal is a novel offer in the field of advanced education in the country and responds to needs identified at the local, regional, national and international level in four basic aspects:

1. Understand health as a complex problem that requires systemic solutions and interventions;
2. Generate knowledge and innovation through advanced research in the field of health;
3. Increase the number and quality of its doctors in the country; Y
4. Urgently train leaders and decision makers with the necessary skills to contribute effectively to transforming health conditions in the country's communities or where required, making use of multi, inter and transdisciplinarity.

In this way, the Doctorate in Health academic program responds to a need to transform the way of approaching community health, emphasizing research that promotes the promotion and maintenance of the health of individuals and their communities. To this end, a multi, inter or transdisciplinary approach is opened that brings together researchers from different disciplines to contribute to the study of health, with a holistic vision based on Social Sciences, Humanities and the field of health. In this order of ideas, the Doctorate intends to advance in the construction of objective conditions and build its own experience, to achieve interdisciplinary and later transdisciplinary work in its work.
