About PhD in Professional Leadership - Health Science Education

College of Education > Department of Curriculum and Instruction > Professional Leadership - Health Science Education, EdD

The Executive Doctor of Education Degree (Ed.D.) in Professional Leadership with an Emphasis in Health Science Education prepares students for professional and administrative leadership positions in a variety of academic healthcare settings. The program provides intensive research and applied skills for students grappling with real-world educational needs and services in medicine, dentistry, nursing and other health-related areas. The design of the program emphasizes exploration, problem-solving and student collaboration in a variety of courses and research activities. A practical internship or Laboratory of Practice provides students with an avenue to apply the specifics of these problems to their course of study and research projects.

The multi-vocational model is a unique feature of the program that promotes inter-professional education and enhances networking between future healthcare professional leaders. The cohort design also ensures mutual encouragement and support with a low number of students able to complete the program. Physicians, dentists and nurse educators who work in the Texas Medical Center make up a majority of students in this program, however it may also be beneficial for researchers, program coordinators, residents, fellows and others interested in educational and/or leadership positions in academic healthcare settings.

We expect most of our graduates to seek positions in academic healthcare institutions or other locations where they will have leadership roles and responsibilities in several of the following areas:

instructional design and curriculum development
teaching
program evaluation
research design, data collection and analysis
grant writing and assessment
use of emerging technologies for teaching and learning
