<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hi Fellows: You recently received an email about a research project led by Dan Skinner, Ph.D., Professor of Health Policy at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Berkeley Franz,
Ph.D., Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Social Medicine at OUHCOM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Dr. Skinner and Dr. Berkeley are interested in learning about the impact of the Health Policy Fellowship in teaching osteopathic physicians and their professional colleagues about leadership and health policy.
They would like to hear about your experiences with the HPF and learn how it informed your thinking about health policy and how the program influenced your professional development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">This study was approved by the Ohio University Institutional Review Board. Names won’t be used beyond general identifiers (“a DO in the Midwest,” “a Ph.D. in sociology,” “a HPF and dean at a College Osteopathic
of Medicine in the Northeast," for example). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I encourage you to take part in their study and thank you for sharing your experiences with Dan (<a href="mailto:skinnerd@ohio.edu">skinnerd@ohio.edu</a>) and Berkeley (<a href="mailto:franzb@ohio.edu">franzb@ohio.edu</a>)
