Health law is a broad and dynamic legal arena that encompasses health care delivery and the health care industry, including all of their component parts: providers, insurers, patients, drug companies and researchers. This legal specialty has expanded in part because of the increased complexity of relationships in the health care field and the intense fragmentation of the American health care delivery system.
This concentration prepares you for practice in a broad and growing field of law. Traditional courses such as Health Law I and II investigate major legal and policy themes of health law and the rapidly-shifting means by which patients gain access to health care, and through which sponsors of health coverage organize and compensate health care providers. Courses in Health Care Finance and Bioethics examine basic economic material and concepts behind healthcare as well as the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of the doctor patient relationship, of government regulation of health care, and of protection of the individual as patient and human research subject.
