Health Policy and Management in Public Health

1 credits · Graduate

This course incorporates four key CEPH competencies related to health policy and management and provides the student with an understanding of the nature and essential components of public health and health policy and management. Specifically, the course opens with an overview of the key roles that public health plays and then takes a look at dimensions of the structure of health systems, key managerial concepts in finance and resource allocation and how the policy setting process can impact different populations in potentially unequal ways. For each topic area, general framing will be presented and then a more specific use case framed to allow the student to consider a tangible example.
