Put the Law to Work for Your Career
Online and Hybrid Legal Training for Health Care Professionals
Legislation and regulation increasingly and profoundly shape the entire health care sector – from hospitals and health insurance to biotechnology and medical devices. Because hospital executives, compliance professionals, and health care professionals must adapt to new realities of the regulatory environment, understanding how legislation and regulation works is an essential feature of career growth. By providing instruction about the regulation of health care, patient care, privacy laws, data protection, and economic issues in health policy, Emory Law’s Juris Master program helps industry professionals better assess organizational risk, make informed decisions, and more effectively navigate and manage this increasingly complex environment.
