Scientific and technical experts have a significant role in the development and evaluation of health policy. Different governance and policy-making systems are examined to understand health policy choices for a broad range of biomedical topics. Health and dental care policy and systems are compared, and effectiveness and outcomes are considered.
Antirequisite(s): Health Sciences 2400A/B, Health Sciences 3400A/B, the former One Health 4800A/B if taken in 2022-23 or 2023-24.
