HEALTH LAW PROGRAM
What is a General Health Law Certificate?
The Health Law Certificate shows future employers that you have concentrated your studies in health law and have acquired a significant understanding and practical application of health law concepts. The Health Law Certificate will appear as a special designation on your J.D. transcript. Certificate recipients will also receive a paper certificate upon successful completion of the certificate program. Download pdf of Certificate Flyer.
Coursework:In order to successfully complete the certificate program, a student must take a minimum of 14 credits of health law courses and attain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 in these courses.
Each certificate student will fulfill a community experience requirement which exposes the individual to part of the health care industry outside the classroom. Students can meet this community experience through participation in the health law clinic or practicum classes; pro bono work in an approved health law setting; or an agreed upon job-shadowing experience.
Each student will actively participate in six or more of the activities sponsored by the Health Law Institute during his or her tenure. These include lectures, conferences, symposia, lunches and approved meetings of the health law section of the bar association.
