Population health and public policy, as well as community engagement, health disparities, and implementation science are areas of strength at UMass Chan, reflected by the outstanding work of faculty, particularly in Commonwealth Medicine, and the Departments of Quantitative Health Sciences, Medicine, and Family & Community Medicine, and those working in the area of Global Health. Their academic work may not fit easily within the current areas of evaluation (Research and Scholarly Activity, Education, and Professional/Academic Service) and their efforts may result in non-traditional forms of scholarship, such as policy statements or white papers. This area of distinction enables these faculty to be recognized for their accomplishments.
