Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the public health system and policy issues
confronting public health practitioners. The course presents an overview of public health policy
interventions, the theoretical motivations for undertaking them, the influence of the political,
bureaucratic, and social environments in which policy decisions are made, and the population
health consequences of such decisions. A key aspect of the course is to develop a framework for
analyzing public health policies. Along with conceptual discussions, the course includes case
studies of current public health policy issues.
Primary Exit Competencies for the course are from Domain A (Measurement), and Domain B
(Communication):
*
A-6 (Policy Analysis): Understand the policy-making process and the role of
politics; assess a problem and identify and compare potential policy solutions; and
understand and critically assess methods to evaluate policy impact.
*
A-10 (Decision-making): Implement a decision-making process that incorporates
evidence from a broad analysis that includes uncertainty, risk, stakeholders, and
organizational values.
*
B-1 (Convey): Speak and write in a clear, logical, and grammatical manner in
formal and informal situations; prepare cogent business presentations; facilitate an
effective group process.
Secondary Exit Competencies for the course are from Domain B (Communication), and
Domain C (Leadership):
*
B-2 and 3 (Listen and Interact): Receive, process, and respond appropriately to
information conveyed by others.
*
C-2 (Strategic Orientation): Analyze the business, demographic, ethno-cultural,
political, and regulatory implications of decisions and develop strategies that continually
improve the long-term success and viability of the organization.
*
C-6 (Impact and Influence): Persuade and convince others, both individuals and
groups, to support a point of view, position, or recommendation.
Additional Course Objectives:
1. Understanding the structure of the U.S. public health system
2. Developing basic policy analysis skills in thinking critically about public health issues,
including the different types of policy interventions and their justifications
3. Understanding the policy process and health politics
4. Developing skills in articulating and communicating policy positions in formats that are
common in professional practice (i.e., policy memos, testimony for a public hearing, and
oral presentations), and that will assist and influence organizations in their strategic and
operational goals
Assignments and Grading: Required readings and materials can be found on the HMP 615
CTools site under the Resources tab. All assignments will be given in writing, with clear
instructions. Late work needs to be negotiated before the day the assignment is due, just like you
would do on a job. I will almost always be willing to negotiate a new deadline if there is a valid
reason for why a deadline cannot be met. Otherwise, late assignments that are turned in without
prior discussion or approval will be docked one grade step for every day they are late. The
policy memos and written assignments are to be submitted via the CTools website prior to the
class (by 10.00 a.m.) on the date they are due.

Writing: Good written communication skills are important in every profession. In the policy
world, the ability to craft clear and cogent statements regarding problems and their potential
policy solutions is essential. During the semester, students will produce written assignments in
formats that are commonly used to convey opinions or positions regarding policy issues.
Therefore, I expect that written assignments will reflect deep thinking and significant effort in
terms of the writing quality. I also expect that written assignments will be professionally
presented (i.e., carefully proof-read and free of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes). Some
keys to good writing are: 1) having a clear structure for presenting your arguments; 2) having
distinct, organized thoughts that you want to convey; 3) spending sufficient time and energy on
the writing; and 4) careful editing, including having someone else proofread a draft to identify
points that are not clear, sentences that are hard to follow, and typos/grammatical mistakes.
2
Academic Conduct: Students should behave in class according to the professional and ethical
standards of the field of health management and policy and the University of Michigan. The
most common form of academic misconduct is plagiarism—that is, taking someone else’s words
and/or ideas and passing them off as your own. Taking material from any source without proper
attribution will be considered as plagiarism and dealt with accordingly. Consequences could
include failing the course or being expelled from your degree program. If you have any
questions about this, please contact the instructor or the GSI before turning in an assignment.
If you are unsure about how to properly reference and quote the sources you use in your writing,
please seek out the many resources available to you. In graduate school and on the job,
ignorance of the proper way to cite other people’s ideas and words is not an acceptable excuse
for plagiarism. So please be careful in how you use information and ideas from other sources,
especially information you find on the Internet.
Class Format and Readings: Our class time together will mostly be discussion, small group
exercises, and a mock public hearing. I assume that you will have read the material before class
and will be prepared to participate actively in class discussions and exercises. As adult learners,
I expect you to be self-motivated to do the readings, even when specific readings are not
discussed in class or covered on an exam. As is typical in graduate school, students will get out
of this course what they put into it. The goal is to have productive, lively, and engaging
discussions regarding important public health problems and potential policy solutions.
The required readings are available on the course CTools site. You can download and print each
reading through the class CTools website. You should read the assigned articles for their content
and the information they impart, but pay particular attention to how the authors frame their
arguments, present the information, and craft problem definitions and/or policy positions.
I recommend but do not require two other books. The first is Eric Redman's The Dance of
Legislation (1973). This book is considered a classic case study of the process by which a
legislative bill is introduced and eventually becomes law, using the National Health Services Bill
(s.4106) as the case. The second book is Joseph M. Williams' Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and
Grace (2003). This is an excellent book about writing style, and strongly recommended for
everyone, ranging from those who struggle with writing and need to improve their writing skills
to those who already consider themselves to be good writers and want to become even better.
Classroom Expectations: It is likely that students in this class have a wide range of
perspectives and opinions regarding many of the policy issues we discuss. It is essential that
students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their own opinions and perspectives on
complex policy issues. Lively discourse and debate are an essential part of the policy process,
and can be very productive if done in a respectful manner. It is perfectly fine to disagree with
each other and to have contrary opinions and perspectives. But it is inappropriate to engage in
rude, insulting, or hostile behavior during our debates.
Electronic devices (i.e., computers, tablets, smart phones) are not to be used during class without
special permission.
