Courses will be held in Barcelona, Spain, at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, November 2-21, 2009. The offerings, available in sessions ranging from two to four days in duration, will be offered by distinguished faculty whose research and practice contribute new knowledge on a wide range of public health, health and social policy, and health care issues, and who work with public health and health care leaders locally, nationally and internationally. This is a unique opportunity to learn with colleagues and others how to apply theory to real-world situations. The Johns Hopkins Fall Institute in Health Policy and Management provides the same academically rigorous courses offered to degree candidates during the traditional academic year at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Md., USA, but they are compressed into a shorter period of time. To take full advantage of this learning opportunity, Fall Institute participants will receive and read materials prior to the beginning of the course sessions, allowing for immediate and intensive in-class discussion and application of concepts to real-world examples.
Courses are taught each day from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., thus allowing participants to attend one course per day. All instruction will be in English, and students taking courses for Johns Hopkins academic credit must hold a bachelor’s degree. |
