Loyola MPH Program to offer a new course in Health Policy:

This Fall, Loyola will offer an exciting and new course which intersects policy with practice. Dhru Bhattacharya, JD, MPH will be the primary instructor for our new course entitled Public Health Policy: Concepts and Practice.

Students will be provided the framework to approach policy issues, and develop position papers. Perspectives will be drawn from epidemiology, law, medicine and social sciences to engage and examine the policy making process. At the end of the course, students will articulate a particular policy position and advocate for or against a particular intervention. Students will become cognizant of the critical need to develop materials/message specific to their audience.
