LAW 8345 - International and Comparative Health Law

Credits: 3

Seminar that compares how different countries regulate costs, quality, and access in their health care systems. Countries with vastly different legal and health care systems must respond to essentially the same concerns: Who has access to health care services? Who pays for health care, and how? How do we regulate medical negligence? How do our systems respond to public health crises such as HIV/AIDS and infectious diseases? The first part of the term is an overview of different health care and legal systems. Students then prepare and present research comparing and contrasting how two countries respond to a particular issue.
