Formulation and Analysis of Health Policy

1.5 Unit

This course is designed as a graduate seminar. We explore the pros and cons of bioethicist participation in policy development, the various ways in which policy is developed at a number of levels, e.g., institutional and governmental levels, approaches to critically analyzing diverse policies and their bioethical implications, and strategies for the consideration of bioethical perspectives in the formulation of policy. We also identify, integrate, and synthesize materials from diverse disciplines relevant to the formulation of policy.
