The Covid pandemic increased attention to public health policy issues, including government delivery and intervention. Health care leaders should be aware of the evolving legal and regulatory environment for delivery, but also the policy process at local, state, and national levels. This course examines the health care public policy environment at different government levels. It draws on policy analysis, advocacy, legal studies, public finance, and public administration. Students learn about development and implementation processes from public regulators, licensors, and funders.
