Overview

Graduates from the Interdisciplinary Health - Disability program at Northern Arizona University will be prepared to engage and collaborate with others to investigate and address complex state, regional, national, and global issues pertaining to disabilities, health equity, and psychosocial health.

Disability research seeks to maximize the inclusion of persons with disabilities, in all aspects of life, across the lifespan. Persons with disabilities may face health challenges similar to persons without disabilities and/or health challenges unique or specific to a type of disability. In either situation, health status may impact the extent to which a person with a disability can fully engage in life activities.

Cutting edge research

The goal of the program is to train students to engage in interdisciplinary health-related research of the highest quality. The IH PhD Program faculty provide students with opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary health-related research. The research and curricular topics address important questions and issues related to health equity, disability, and psychosocial health.
