Dean's Announcement Concerning Murray Cote and Tiffany Radcliff

Please join me in belatedly welcoming Murray J. Côté, Ph.D. to the Health Policy

and Management Department. Dr. Côté was hired last year and deferred arrival until January for a number of reasons. Dr. Côté earned a B.A. in political science and an M.B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada and a Ph.D. in management science from Texas A&M University. He has held faculty appointments at Florida and Colorado. His primary research interests are in health care operations. Professor Côté has obtained extramural funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Education and Research Foundation of the American Production and Inventory Control Society. He has also consulted for a variety of health care organizations. He is a member of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), and a senior member of the American Society for Quality (ASQ).

Also joining SRPH in a part-time capacity is Tiffany A. Radcliff, Ph.D., who earned a B.S. in economics from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. in Health Services Research, Policy, and Administration from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Her primary research and teaching interests are in health economics, health policy, and health services research, with topical areas of interest including long-term care, access to care for rural and underserved populations, improving care processes and outcomes, and economic evaluation. Professor Radcliff’s research is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
