Center for Law in Science and Global Health

The Center for Law in Science and Global Health began in 1994 with the appointment of Professor Patricia Kuszler who was hired to create and institute a program of study focusing on the intersection between law and health sciences. The guiding focus of the center is multidisciplinary research and teaching that explores the increasing relevance of law and policy to clinical medicine, global health, and biomedical research.

The Center is involved in:

• the J.D. concentration track in Health Law
• a major collaboration and role in the Institute for Public Health Genetics
• a Global Health and Justice Project focusing on international health and human rights
• a concurrent J.D./M.P.H. in Public Health Genetics
• several additional multidisciplinary ventures that bring opportunities and revenue into the Center

What’s New for the Center:

• Health Law LL.M. program – now accepting applications for fall 2009!!
• International Bioethics, Social Justice and Health Graduate Certificate Program 
• Concurrent degrees: J.D./M.H.A. and J.D./M.P.H. in Health Services
