HPM 2063 - THE POLITICS OF HEALTH POLICY

The course is designed for students with an interest in health policy, although no previous formal training in policy or politics is required. We will examine the roles of government institutions and political actors both inside and outside government in developing and implementing health policy. Past and present health care policy debates will be used to illustrate the concepts and theories discussed in class.
