An Interdisciplinary Approach to Health Policy Issues for Graduate & Undergraduate Students
The Center for Health Policy, based at Duke University’s Global Health Institute, is pleased to offer the Health Policy Certificate Program to undergraduate and graduate students. Courses in the health policy certificate program address three interrelated goals:
to investigate the machinery of contemporary health policy-making and to understand the broad political dynamics which have conditioned U.S. health policy, past and present;
to gain familiarity with the institutional and economic complexity of the U.S. health care system through the study of the interaction between the key players in health care financing and organization—employers, private insurance carriers, government regulators, health care providers and consumers; and
to explore the cultural and ideological underpinnings of modern conceptions of health and the recurrent ethical dilemmas facing health care providers, patients, and policymakers.
The program draws upon established research programs relating to health services centered in economics, political science, public policy, and sociology, but recognizes the inspired contributions to health care debates originating in the disciplines of anthropology, history, law, medical arts, philosophy, psychology, and religion.
