PH 252 Health Policy

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the health-policy making process and examine how it is shaped by legislation, regulations and the courts. After understanding the process, students will choose a policy topic and begin to build a strategy for making the change they want to see happen. Each course assignment leads up to the final project, which is a policy advocacy strategy that includes: an analysis of a policy issue, a summary of relevant research, a stakeholder analysis and management plan, a metrics-based evaluation plan, and prepared written and oral communication points. The final deliverable puts all the pieces are together, so each student will have created a map to manifest their desired change.
