Women and Health Law.

Catalog description

Gender-related issues arise in many health care contexts -- some obvious (such as reproduction) and others less so (such as medical research). By examining selected legal topics, this course will provide an opportunity for students to explore the gender implications of the U.S. health care system. Topics may include, for example: women as patients and doctors, gender imbalance in clinical research, issues surrounding the use of reproductive technologies, domestic violence, and insurance coverage.
