GPA LECTURE COURSES

Students will learn about the economic influences in the causal pathway to illness. Lectures cover economic burden of ill health, the effects of disease on economic productivity, metrics of the burden of disease, and the interrelations between economies and health policy. Students will examine the economic structures of the health-care delivery system and recent changes in the health insurance and health care delivery markets to understand the impact of competition and regulation on health-care costs experienced by payers, providers and patients. They will also research alternative forms of contracts and organizational structures that shape the health-care system's economic performance and the organizations within that system.
