Description

Course Objectives

The course will provide a framework for developing and analyzing a range of health policy issues. The course begins by introducing an approach for rationally analyzing any public health policy issue. Other models of the policy process are also presented. Four analytic skills commonly used by policymakers are then introduced. The four skills are:
  1. Analyzing historical, political, ethical, and legal ramifications
  2. Assessing need and demand
  3. Examining economic and financial considerations
  4. Assessing existing programs and policies
The course will then apply these skills to examine three health policy issues in greater depth.
  1. Delivering medical care
  2. Injury prevention and trauma care
  3. Emergency preparedness
