PMO 1026 Current Issues in Health Care Administration and Policy
This course is intended to critically analyze and evaluate current issues in healthcare management and policy that are researched and published in the healthcare literature. Each student in the class will read a peer-reviewed journal article and come to class prepared to discuss the salient points and lead the class discussion. PMB faculty will attend the weekly seminar and join in on the discussion, as well as guide it when needed. The goal of the course is to support the attainment of core competencies for the Masters of Healthcare Administration and Policy degree, particularly in the demonstration of competency in critical analysis, but also to develop and demonstrate competency in communication, community-cultural orientation, professionalism, and ethics. Additionally, students will utilize the insight garnered from this course, and the current literature, to assist them with the preparation of their capstone project and ultimately develop a formal capstone proposal by the end of this course.
