The Dartmouth Institute prepares students to question current assumptions, develop creative and innovative solutions to our problems, and use their knowledge and skills to implement the changes in policy and practice that will create a transformed health system, improving both health and health care for all.
For over 30 years, Dartmouth has been a pioneer in health services research. Our research has increased and expanded the understanding of geographic variations in healthcare delivery, the adaption and integration of payment reform models, and the factors influencing physician decision making and patient-clinician communication. The insights we gain help policy makers, systems leaders, and healthcare providers improve practices.
