When people think of healthcare, more often than not they picture doctors, nurses, hospitals, and insurance. But healthcare is far more expansive. It shapes public policy, influences economies, intersects with ethics, and thrives in the space of technological innovation. And that’s just for starters. Whether as an academic subject or a lived experience, healthcare is an inescapable, and significant, part of daily life. This course is a tour de force of healthcare, defined in its broadest scope. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to exploring the healthcare landscape, combining interactive lectures, case studies, and discussions with a broad array of experts from Hofstra’s diverse community. Students will engage with topics ranging from the history of medicine to the business of healthcare, from health disparities to the future of artificial intelligence in medicine.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
