Research Training Group
Managerial and economic dimensions of health care quality
The Research Training Group “Managerial and economic dimensions of health care quality” is a structured PhD program in health economics (a so called Graduiertenkolleg (GRK)) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Our programme will enable PhD students with a background in economics, business administration or closely related fields to do research on how to influence the quality of health care in various settings using very large data sets that have only recently become available.
Research visits
The doctoral students of the research training group can work on their research topic abroad for several months, in collaboration with international health economists.
