Health Law & Policy Summer Institute
The Health Law & Justice Program will hold its fifth annual Health Law and Policy Institute from June 18 to June 28, 2012. Course schedules and descriptions for the 2012 Institute can be found here, and a calendar of events can be found here [pdf].
Taught by leading health lawyers, the Health Law and Policy Institute provides intensive training for students and professionals interested in health law. Participants in this year’s Institute can choose from a wide selection of courses that focus on health care reform, health care law, bioethics, and international health law. Professors and guest lecturers bring real-world experience to the classroom, and courses combine theoretical and practical elements so that participants gain a well-balanced understanding of the subject matter. Lunchtime activities, including panel discussions, will promote networking opportunities and introduce participants to some of the latest ideas and trends in health law.
The Institute is designed to meet the busy schedules of law students interested in earning academic credit and of attorneys interested in fulfilling CLE requirements or pursuing an LL.M. degree. Day courses run for two consecutive days, and evening courses run for four consecutive evenings. Law students may earn one credit for each course. The credits may also be used towards a health law specialization in the law school’s LL.M. in Law and Government.
