Testimonials

"Participating in the Health Law and Policy Summer Institute was an invaluable experience. As a student in the course, I had the opportunity to listen to knowledgeable and inspiring guest lecturers and learn from my professor and colleagues. I am already using the knowledge and skills I gained over the summer in my full-time job, and I plan to continue to use this knowledge and these skills as I progress in my career."

"I enjoyed the classes offered through the 2021 Summer Institute. Duringthis time of the COVID-19 pandemic, gaining exposure in health law and obtaining knowledge of the U.S. healthcare system is highly relevant. I especially enjoyed learning about the use of artificial intelligence, intellectual property rights in healthcare technology, and regulation and enforcement of health care procedures."

The Institute facultyare engaging, and provideinsightful perspectives on pressing issues, such as how providers are adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing telemedicine services and the legal considerations for digital health. I strongly recommend the Institute for those who want to learn more about unique health law topics and learn from both Institute faculty and guestspeakers who are experts in their fields."

“The Health Law & Policy Summer Institute provided me with relevant and timely instruction in traditional and emerging areas of health law.One course professorpresented a rigorous framework for evaluating false claims, and the other course professorpresented a fantastic survey on telemedicine and artificial intelligence. I highly recommend any involvement with the Institute as the courses, and even seminars, will allow both neophytes and skilled practitioners to significantly advance their health law knowledge.”

The Health Law & Policy Summer Institute was engaging and provided me with a practical background in the healthcare regulatory field. I was able to frequently apply this learning at my summer job at a federal regulatory agency. I felt that this background gave me an advantage over the other interns I worked with and helped me succeed, but I am happiest with how comfortable I now feel with the subject matters covered in 'Health Care Corporate Compliance & Governance' and 'The False Claims Act in the Health Care Industry.' The class structure was very convenient and manageable and I would recommend the course offerings to any student considering a career in health law.

In addition to Professor Kung’s in-depth survey of legal issues facing health care industry players in the Digital Health and the Law course, students had the opportunity to attend a speciallunch-and-learn series and meet practitioners in the field. I would highly recommend the Health Law and Summer Instituteto any law student interested in pursuing a career in health law."
