PUBPOL 5823

Disruptive Innovation in Health Care II

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

The goal of this course is to empower students with current, cutting-edge insights on the external threats and opportunities presented by technology and insurgent forces in healthcare, and how "incumbents" can successfully respond to these threats and opportunities in a COVID and post-COVID world. My hope is that you will be inspired to understand and embrace "disruption," and to become an innovator, an influencer, and a force in creating a new and better healthcare world.

When Offered Fall.
