 Become an Associate

Associates include professional and community members with an interest in health policy and health services research.  Associates are included in all activities of The Center including conferences and mailings.  The staff of The Center rely upon Associates for ideas and feedback about the activities of The Center.

The power of The Center lies in its ability to integrate the interests and abilities of faculty of many departments in all colleges of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Faculty of any department of any college with interests in health services and policy issues, whether from a research perspective or an educational perspective or both, are encouraged to participate in the activities of The Center. The Center seeks to link faculty with interests in behavioral health, biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, health care economics, health systems administration, medical ethics, preventive medicine, public health, public policy and administration -- in addition to allied health, dentistry, medicine and basic medical sciences, nursing, pharmacy, nursing, and social work --  to provide an integrated and interdisciplinary approach for assessing and improving health and healthcare issues, policies and programs. These faculty are designated as Associates of The Center for Health Services Research, and represent the core group that The Center supports and the group that is responsible for achieving the mission of The Center.
