John D. Thompson Award
The John D. Thompson Academic Development Fund was established in honor of the memory of John D. Thompson, a professor of health administration education, whose teaching, commitment to learning, and research set high standards for health management and policy in public health. John D. Thompson contributed significantly to the area of health management through an interdisciplinary approach demonstrated by his intellectual curiosity deeply rooted in the scientific method. He firmly believed that the goal of teaching and research in public health is to improve the health of the community. The Academic Development Fund is designed to invigorate the study and practice of health management and policy at Yale and supports the John D. Thompson Student Research Award.
