- Welcome to module one.
So there's plenty to talk about in this module.
I added in parts about Medicare
because Medicare is really one
of the best examples to think about how these topics work.
Things like, what is public health?
What are the values of public health?
How does the
initiation
and
trajectory of health law work?
Medicare can provide a really good foundation
for looking at that tangibly.
So this week, not only are you starting where a lot
of public health classes start, which is the fundamentals,
but also I've added in Medicare because I want
to give you an example to ground a lot of this in.
So when you start this week, I would say
start with the readings.
There's a couple of videos here
and then head on over to the discussion forum.
There's also an assignment that will help you think
about the history of Medicare and how that came about.
