HLTHPOL 370S
Immersive Health Policy Experience
Hilary Anne Campbell
Description from DukeHub
Immerses students into real world health policy work by integrating them into teams of health policy professionals. Students will meet together in weekly seminars to learn about the structure, function, and history of government agencies (such as the FDA, CMS, and CDC) and other entities related to health policy; they will also practice skills in locating, interpreting, and interacting with statutory and regulatory language, as well as following and summarizing current events in health policy. With their teams, students may observe and assist with a wide variety of project tasks and deliverables, such as convenings, literature reviews, interviews, topic summaries, policy briefs, and analyses. Prerequisite: Public Policy 165 (crosslisted as Health Policy 165 or Science & Society 165)
