About the Opportunity

The Center is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research and dialog on critical issues relating to health law and policy both within the U.S. and globally.

The Center supports a broad curriculum in health and public health law, and sponsors conferences, lectures, colloquia, and workshops that introduce students to career opportunities in health policy and law.
