MLP: A Health Justice Collab

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Through the lens of the Georgetown University Health Justice Alliance, this 1-credit course will introduce you to the Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) model of healthcare delivery. MLP is an innovative approach to healthcare that recognizes that some barriers to good health have legal remedies. In an MLP, doctors and other healthcare professionals work with lawyers to improve the health and lives of vulnerable populations in ways that neither medicine nor law can alone. This class will provide foundational knowledge about MLPs and how their collaborative approach to health and justice can be used to improve the lives of historically underserved and marginalized communities of color.
