HADM 510 Health Policy Analysis and Synthesis – 3 units

Where possible, the course will draw upon the experiences of other industrialized democracies in its consideration of viable public health policies that have worked elsewhere and may work here in the United States’ public health infrastructure.

- Analyze policy in the healthcare arena;
