The challenges that will face the medical and health law professions in the coming decades are enormous—and exciting. Our Law-Medicine Center has defined health law since its founding in 1953. From corporate practice to bioethics, from malpractice rules to government regulation, our health law curriculum offers a deep dive into the key issues with the leading scholars in the field.
We share a campus—and debate ideas—with the best medical researchers in the world. Our emphasis on healthcare access puts students in the forefront of casework in human trafficking, LGBTQ+ rights, mental illness and refugee issues.
