HRP 201C: Health Policy Graduate Student Tutorial III (MED 215C)
The third in a three-quarter seminar series, this course is intended for first-year Health Policy PhD students and all Health Policy MS students. The course is structured as a student-led seminar, with participation by the Instructor and other faculty, and it will focus primarily on global health. It will familiarize students with seminal papers in policy-relevant social science and biomedical journals and prepare students to design studies to answer health policy research questions. The final sessions will be reserved for student presentations of their own research (made by students enrolling for 2 units). Please note that depending on enrollment, an additional student presentation session may need to be scheduled.

HRP 204: Models for Understanding and Controlling Global Infectious Diseases (HUMBIO 154D)
(HUMBIO students must enroll in
HUMBIO 154D. Med/Graduate students must enroll in
HRP 204.) This course introduces students to the dynamics of infectious diseases of global health importance, focusing on the use of mathematical models to characterize their transmission in populations. Relevant case examples of pathogens with differing natural history and transmission routes include tuberculosis, HIV, malaria, typhoid, and cholera, as well emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola and the 2019 novel coronavirus. Lectures will emphasize the theoretical basis underlying infectious disease dynamics and link them to in-class workshops and problem sets that will emphasize public health applications and will provide students with hands-on experience in creating and coding models. Students will learn the mathematical underpinnings of key topics in infectious disease transmission including herd immunity, the basic reproductive number, vaccine effects, social contact structure, host heterogen

Students will learn the mathematical underpinnings of key topics in infectious disease transmission including herd immunity, the basic reproductive number, vaccine effects, social contact structure, host heterogeneities, and pathogen fitness. The course will teach students how to approach new questions in infectious disease transmission, from model selection, tradeoffs in model complexity or parsimony, parameterization, sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. Students will practice building models, evaluating the influence of model parameters, making predictions about disease trajectories, and projecting the impact of public health interventions.

HRP 249: Topics in Health Economics I (ECON 249, MED 249)
Course will cover various topics in health economics, from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Topics will include public financing and public policy in health care and health insurance; demand and supply of health insurance and healthcare; physicians' incentives; patient decision-making; competition policy in healthcare markets, intellectual property in the context of pharmaceutical drugs and medical technology; other aspects of interaction between public and private sectors in healthcare and health insurance markets. Key emphasis on recent work and empirical methods and modelling. Prerequisites: Micro and Econometrics first year sequences (or equivalent).

HRP 252: Outcomes Analysis (BIOMEDIN 251, MED 252)
This course introduces and develops methods for conducting empirical research that address clinical and policy questions that are not suitable for randomized trials. Conceptual and applied models of causal inference guide the design of empirical research. Econometric and statistical models are used to conduct health outcomes research which use large existing medical, survey, and other databases Problem sets emphasize hands-on data analysis and application of methods, including re-analyses of well-known studies. This is a project-based course designed for students pursuing research training. Prerequisites: one or more courses in probability, and statistics or biostatistics.
