Syracuse University Abroad has been offering a summer program on "Comparative Health Policy and Law" for over 10 years. A few years ago, we added Amsterdam to our travels, because of our desire to expose students to end of life decision making and physician assisted suicide issues from the Dutch perspective. This summer students will travel to London, Amsterdam and Geneva from May 27th to June 26th, 2010. This is a six-credit course available at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
In London and Amsterdam, students will cover such issues as access to health care, reproductive choice policies, care of mentally ill, end of life decision-making, and assistance in dying. In addition to exploring these issues from an American perspective through lectures and readings, students have the opportunity to have guest lecturers from the respective cities present their country's unique way of approaching these subjects. In Geneva, students will visit the World Health Organization and explore public health issues around the world. This course is most suitable for upper division and graduate students with an interest in health law, medicine, health-policy, health systems management, political science, bio-ethics, and related fields.
Interested students should contact the Syracuse University Abroad online at suabroad.syr.edu or by e-mail at suabroad@syr.edu. Those with questions about program content should feel free to contact me directly by telephone at 315-443-9419 or e-mail at tzappola@syr.edu.
