Assignment: Health policy issue by government
Directions: Identify a that is of interest to you. A list is posted in the WIKI sign up. You may choose a topic from this list, but feel free to identify a different issue of your choosing. If you do decide to identify a different issue , i t should be a current issue, one for which government action (i.e., legislation, regulations or judicial action) has been proposed or is currently being considered. Please email your faculty your proposed topic for approval.
To prepare for Session 1:(get help)
Directions: In no more than 3 minutes, discuss the health policy issue or issues you are considering as the focus for your written work in the course. This is an opportunity to think through your topic and to receive feedback from the instructors and your colleagues. Please also be prepared to provide feedback to your colleagues about their possible topics.
To indicate which issue you are choosing:
Health policy issue by government
- Please sign up by the end of Weekly Session 3 on the Issue Sign-Up Wiki.
- You can find the Wiki linked in Weekly Session 3 or on the Main Course Menu.
-
- During our final WebEx session, you will give a brief presentation of your issue.
- You can choose from different dates/times. If you choose a topic that someone else has already chosen, all we ask is that you sign up for a different session to avoid duplication.
Provide an explanation of the issue:
- What is the issue? Why is it important? Why is it of interest to you? (If it’s not of interest, choose a different topic!)
- What has been proposed or attempted to address the problem, and by whom?
- Focus on the issue. (If you identify a specific bill addressing the issue, you can cite and discuss it, but don’t focus only on the bill—focus on the issue).
- Your paper should be no more than 3-4 pages of text, double-spaced and written according to APA format. (For this assignment, you do not need to include an abstract).
- Include at least three sources. These do not need to be peer-reviewed journal articles, but they should come from an authoritative source. (Please do not cite Wikipedia, a personal blog or a social media post).
- This paper should serve as a starting point for your final paper.
Don’t worry if you don’t know yet about the policy process—i.e., about the workings of legislation, regulation, or court decisions. That will come later. For now, focus on the issue.Health policy issue by government
