In this course, students examine the role of federal, state, and local government in the assurance of public health through health policy and law.  Consideration is given to contemporary policy, law, and regulatory issues arising in public health practice, as well as to the economics and financing of public health programs.  The advocacy, political, and creative process in the formulation, implementation, and modification of health policy are examined and discussed.  Students also learn how to write and structure a health policy analysis.
