About the course

Health care is one of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy. Its delivery and financing are of tremendous importance to individuals and society. Accordingly, health care law is one of the most vibrant and diverse areas of legal practice. Courses from across the entire curriculum are relevant to patients, physicians, and the health care industry. There are several distinct types of health law practice, including: 1) medical malpractice representation (a branch of personal injury litigation), 2) representing physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, or health insurers regarding their specialized regulatory and business law issues, 3) assisting individuals with insurance coverage or patients rights, and 4) representing pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients regarding intellectual property, liability, and regulatory issues. Students interested in practicing in one of these areas should have solid grounding in the fundamentals of the more general legal practice area encompassing the type of health law practice they envision.
