Health Policy: Advanced Policy Analysis

Catalog description

This interprofessional course prepares graduate students to develop policy analyses in multiple arenas. Taking the concept that "all policy is health policy," students will read and evaluate public, institutional, and health and health care policies. Population health effects and unintended consequences of policy will be examined. Various policy analysis formats will be explored, and students will develop preferences for type and style for differing audiences. Students will gain practice writing policy analyses and making recommendations for feasible policy change. Finally, students will participate in extensive peer review with an eye toward eventual publication.
