Legal Iss Relevnt Hlthcare Adm - GMU HHS 750 - Spring 2011

Your beginning assignments for study and class preparation and

discussion are as follows (the page numbers refer to portions of the

primary health law text book which you should bring to class each week):

1.  Study the materials at pages 1-30; 32-40; 47-56; 57-76; 76-90;

154-178; and 178-220.

2.  On February 17, 2011 we likely will be focusing on your readings through page 56.

3.  You should study the courts decisions and the text commentaries,

but you are not responsible for studying the "problems" contained in

the text. 

4.  Please provide me with your suggested question sheet for a

physician who would treat someone you care about very much and who

suffers from a serious illness: what questions would you ask and what

information would you want to know, before such care and treatment

begin? 

5.  Your question sheet should be sent via email to me to arrive not later

than 11:59 PM the evening before our next class, please.

6.  Give thought to your term paper topic including an outline and

proposed beginning bibliography of resources, which you should share

with me at soon as possible, so I can address any concerns I might

have regarding your proposed paper topic and outline and resources,

and ultimately approve them.

7.  If you have questions regarding topics, feel free to inquire via email.
