The provision of health/medical care services in the United States has evolved into a very fragmented set of policies. This series will describe and analyze certain aspects of the financing and delivery of services in the U.S. These will include child health policies, efforts to develop best practices for physicians, public health insurance policies such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and Medicare, and challenges for the development of the physician workforce.

This lecture series was planned by John Abraham, Richard Barron, Donna Clack, Avi Eisbruch, Todd Grant, Jerry Newman and chair Craig Ramsay.
