News and Jobs

We have spent the last two weeks or so looking at the big picture so we can start to see how large macro issues and trends may be affecting our future in healthcare.

This week, as a companion to your first assignment, we want to increase our focus and think about how a selected development in the world of healthcare (as reported on by Kaiser) is likely to have positive and negative consequences on your future opportunities as a healthcare professional.

Overall, this week’s discussion is a chance to share the thinking you are doing for your paper on current healthcare developments and your own professional future with other students in the course. You will then have the equal opportunity to share your thinking about each other’s news analysis and thoughts about their future healthcare career. The mutual discussion should help strengthen everyone’s own work.

Start with posting a summary of the main points you make in your paper and then take it from there by providing comments to the posts of other students.
