The Doctor of Health Science (DHSc or DHS) is a post-professional academic doctoral degree for those who intend to pursue or advance a professional practice career in Health Sciences and Health Care Delivery Systems, which can include clinical practice, education, administration, and research. Master's credentials are a requirement for DHSc programs. Individuals who complete the DHSc face the particular challenge of understanding and adapting scientific knowledge in order to achieve health gain and results. This degree leads to a career in high-level administration, teaching, applied research, or practice, where advanced analytical and conceptual capabilities are required. The Doctor of Health Science is a degree that prepares scholarly professionals in healthcare and leadership roles. The first Doctor of Health Science degree was offered in 2000 by the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences.[1]
In Europe and Australia, the degree is awarded after completion of two to three years of coursework and research beyond the master's degree. Like its European counterparts, an individual typically has to complete three to four years of study beyond the master's degree. In order to be accepted into the program, a person must possess a master's degree from a regionally accredited United States university, and have prior health care experience. In addition to completing two to four years of intensive course work, candidates must typically complete an applied research project or dissertation.
It is recommended individuals seeking academic teaching positions in higher education choose a DHS/DHSc program that culminates in a dissertation or doctoral research project.
