CAS-270 Issues in Medicine (1)


Like all fields of endeavor, the institution and practice of medicine has multiple issues that affect patient outcomes. These issues include lack of practitioner diversity, disparities in health care, maintaining provider health and well-being, and professional decision-making, to name a few. This discussion-based course explores one or more of these issues by reading and discussing papers from medical and scientific journals and the popular press. Usually Offered: fall. Prerequisite: sophomore standing.
