The new integrated curriculum at Harvard Medical School now requires that students learn about the ins and outs of health care policy as part of their medical training. HCP Department Chair Barbara McNeil, MD, PhD, and Associate Professor of Health Care Policy Haiden Huskamp, PhD, teach the "Introduction to Health Policy" course, which was previously an elective. It will be a requirement as of September 2007. For more information, visit Harvard Medical School's WebWeekly.
