APR is at the heart of our institutional commitment to excellence, and we sincerely thank you for assisting us. This letter provides you with the charge to the committee and a brief overview of the department. Peer Review Team Charge Please examine the department and its programs and make recommendations that will help in planning improvements. Your resources are a self-study report prepared by the department, copies of materials from the program’s last review, information you gain through personal interactions while visiting Texas A&M University, copies of strategic plans and goal-setting documents at the department, college, and/or university level, and any additional information requested by you or by the department. Within the broad charge of recommending ways the department can continue to improve are some specific questions that we would like you to address: • Based on the data/information provided in the self-study report or gathered by the review team, what are the department’s overall strengths and weaknesses? • How well do the department’s strategic goals align with those of its college and with those of Texas A&M University? • How would you compare this department with its peers? Specifically, is the curriculum directly related and appropriate to the mission and goals of the institution? • What improvements (including student learning and faculty development) has the department made since the previous program review? • With only current resources or a modest infusion of new ones, what specific recommendations could improve the department’s performance, marginally or significantly? We look forward to meeting with you during your time on campus. If you have any questions or require additional information prior to your visit, Ms. Bettyann Zito, APR Program Coordinator, at [email protected]. Thank you. iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ph.D. Program in Health Services Research (“Ph.D. Degree Program”) is based in the Department of Health Policy & Management (HPM) in the School of Public Health (SPH) at Texas A&M University.
