This course provides a broad orientation to key structures within the American healthcare system and their role in promoting health equity. These structures include providers, payers, local health departments, evidence development, health information technology and innovative policy. This course will emphasize practical experience with these structures in the context of health equity through case studies within the class and an integrative project in which students will plan and execute their own project. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.
