Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is the doctoral version of HPM 2064. Doctoral students have supplemental reading and writing requirements for this course.

The framework used for achieving these aims will be to consider health policy from the perspective of the main stakeholders in the system: patients, providers, health plans, suppliers (e.g. Pharmaceutical and manufacturing industry), and payers.
