The American healthcare system offers the most advanced innovation in information and health technology. Yet, it manages to fail many of its own citizens. The American healthcare system spends over $8,000 per patient per year, nearly double the next highest country, the United Kingdom. Yet, the Americans experience the highest rate of infant mortality, teenage pregnancy and diseases that can be prevented. The American healthcare system is plagued with disparity in quality of healthcare services. In this class we will briefly explore the history of medical education in the United States; examine the influence of our social, cultural and other factors on our current health and well-being and healthcare system. We will discuss the basic concepts of epidemiology and medical anthropology before discussing the infrastructure of our healthcare system. We will spend a good portion of our time on Affordable Healthcare Act and its potential impact on our society. Additionally, we will discuss the latest changes in healthcare practice, laws, and technological trends that impact our current healthcare delivery system. Course Objectives: 1) To identify the various components of the U.S. health care system. 2) To understand the different types of payment sources for health care. 3) To understand the role of the government in health care 4) To develop awareness of the complexity and interconnectedness of the multiple components of the health care system and their impact on providers 5) To learn, understand and analyze the latest trends and changes in American healthcare 6) To identify the value and benefits of teamwork and group approach 7) To learn and have fun while learning. 8) To recognize that our limitations are self-imposed and the sky is our only limitations

Course Requirements and Grade Policy: Our health and well-being are consequences of our personal experiences and knowledge. Therefore, I strongly encourage class participation, discussion and share of thoughts and ideas. Throughout the course, I will share with you published articles, experts opinions, communication, the latest disseminated innovations and changes related to our healthcare system. You are required to study theses handouts and prepare an excerpt of these articles based on your understanding. These handouts will be reviewed during our regularly scheduled class time; quizzes will cover these handouts as well as the lectures. Group Assembly and Preparation for Group Presentation and Final Group Paper: After September 7th, the last day to drop a class without a W, the class will be divided into groups of four/five members. Each group will be assigned with a general topic for research. Each group will be expected to give a 15-minutes presentation which will be followed by 10-minutes question and answer period. Each group is expected to finalize their presentation into a 10-page manuscript. Three consecutive sessions will be allocated for group presentations. Each group is expected to turn in the final manuscript one-week post presentation. Other Course Administrative Issues: Our class is scheduled as a 3-hour session once per week. We will take a 10-minute break after the first and the second hour. Each session will commence on the hour and will end 15-minutes before the hour. Should there be a need to leave the class during the lecture, students must egress the class-room without disturbing other students. Cell phones/electronics are turned off during class time. UTD email: All university and course communication is conducted via the student s UTD email account. It is the student s responsibility to check UTD email and respond accordingly. Arriving late is disruptive to class activities and may affect your attendance and participation grade. If you have a legitimate reason for being late, please inform your instructor ahead of time. Course syllabus, handouts and copies of lecture slides will be posted on e-blackboard. Students are required to check the e-blackboard on a regular basis.
