Health Policy and Law Program

The Program on Health Policy and Law brings together faculty and students from across Northeastern University, providing a forum for interdisciplinary exploration and research of the myriad ways that law and policy affect health in the US and globally.

Based at the School of Law, the program draws from participating departments across the university to provide a rich context for students and researchers interested in public health law, health and human rights, health governance, intellectual property, bioethics, health care delivery law, and the regulation of our healthcare systems. It is guided by faculty and staff with diverse areas of expertise and is affiliated with an array of university-wide institutes, programs and experiential learning opportunities.

In addition to offering a broad curriculum in health and public health law, the program sponsors lectures, a colloquium series, the law school’s Health Law Moot Court team, the Health Law Student Association and workshops that introduce students to career opportunities in the growing field of health law and policy.
