This course will introduce students to the major concepts of the American political process (local, state and federal), and to the use of different aspects of the political realm to achieve policy change in the public health/health care arena. As part of the course we will illustrate the decision making process of making policy change through political action with real world examples (mostly from Baltimore and Maryland), examine policy and politics of the U.S. health care system, and participate in the political process through a mock legislative hearing. You cannot register for this course if you have taken AS.280.103.
