Research

Student in lab

At Harris College, we consider how human behavior relates to health in our research. That’s why our research focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning for health care, behavioral intervention and wellness, health care disparities as they relate to social determinants of health, and clinical organizations and practices. We engage in innovative research by maintaining a close connection between students and the community and equipping students to think like clinical scientists.
