Health Policy Capstone

Catalog description

In the Health Policy Capstone students identify a health issue with a potential policy solution and then research and advocate for a health policy that addresses that issue. Students will gather research on impacts of potential solutions, develop criteria for judging among the solutions, assess the relative merits of policies, and then advocate for their chosen health policy. In class activities include breaking down the steps of policy analysis in response to selection of health policy applications. In addition to these aspects of the course, students in the Health Policy MPH program will complete the Integrated Learning Experience (ILE) by selecting competencies, developing objectives, and writing the ILE paper during this course.
