Course Outline: This core health law course is an introductory tour of Texas/federal laws governing health-sector businesses, which together account for 18% U.S. Gross Domestic Product. The course covers traditional 20th-century institutions such as hospitals, but the main focus is on academic medical centers, which provide patient care, perform research, and train the next generation of health professionals. contract research organizations; health data exchanges; and management and informational services). Academic Medical Centers are a large part of the health industry and students entering the health law workforce of today need to know the laws that affect them and the unresolved policy issues they raise. Students who choose to practice health law, will inevitably encounter and advise academic medical centers in some capacity, whether serving as in-house counsel or engaged as outside counsel on a specific project. This year’s course will include multiple visits from, and opportunities for students to have close interactions with, practicing attorneys—who work in major area academic medical centers. They will guide students in practical problem-solving discussions of real-world legal issues related to the substantive law topics covered in the course and offer insights on how to get and build a career working for or representing academic medical centers as clients.
