Description

The Department of Population Science and Policy (PSP) at Southern Illinois University School

of Medicine (SIU SOM) is broadly defined as a research and policy academic department

dedicated to improving the health outcomes of the residents of central and southern Illinois. The department seeks to understand the health needs of people living in the regions served by SIU SOM, and designs and studies optimal approaches to the prevention and treatment of disease, develops preventive models and helps in implementation of these interventions. The department is also involved in educating current and future health care providers on population health and its involvement in patient care.

The department focuses on four major themes :

1) data acquisition and analysis to identify disease risk,

2) clinical and community focused population health strategies that reduce health

disparities,

3) systems-based policy formation that provides sustainable solutions, and

4) the population health education of current and future health care professionals.

The Department uses its research, scholarship, and innovation to design, implement, study, and model solutions to our region's health challenges. Our research guides policy, and our

distinguished faculty advise hospital and clinical systems, government, educators, and industry

on the best means to improve population health. The Department connects faculty from SIU

School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals and healthcare institutions, government and nongovernment agencies, and philanthropists who are interested in population sciences research and policy. The department seeks and promotes collaborations to bridge knowledge gaps, share methodological expertise, and stimulate translational science.

The department's ultimate goal is to contribute substantively to healthier, happier, and more

successful lives for the residents of central and southern Illinois, with special focus on those

residing in rural regions and small towns.
