HTCA 663 - Global Healthcare Policy and Politics (3)


This course’s objective is to engage students in weighing both the policy and political tradeoffs raised by health reform, while examining the formulation and implementation of health policy globally. Emphasis is on the application of analytical contributions from health economics, scientific inquiry and research, and other policy-related disciplines to current issues in healthcare delivery, organization, and financing. Students compare and contrast U.S. healthcare policies to those of other nations and explore the potential applications of importing and exporting these practices to demonstrate how political, economic, social, and cultural determinants have shaped the evolution of current national, regional, and local healthcare policies.
