Topics in the history of Health Care: Social Justice

Catalog description

Current global and national health policy is focused on the impact of social determinants on disparities in patient outcomes. Attention to the equitable distribution and access to health care is a component of social justice, and this has been an element of health policy and practice for longer than a century. This course will explore examples of social justice in health care within policy, practice and patient/community activism, and will make connections to current issues in health care policy.
