Abstract
With health policy playing a larger role in the practice of medicine since the passage of the Affordable Care Act1, the need for medical students to have a basic understanding of health policy and its many components is urgent. Teaching medical students basic knowledge of health policy will properly prepare them to grow into the future leaders of the healthcare system.
Only 3 initiatives that address Health SystemsSciences (HSS) curricula and provide a case-study of sorts have been documented3,4,5. These include Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, and Penn State College of Medicine.
