Health Care Economics is an introductory economics text geared to graduate students who will be medical and health services managers. These managers also referred to as health care executives or health care administrators, plan, direct, coordinate, and supervise the delivery of health care. They can be specialists in charge of a specific clinical department or generalists who manage an entire facility or system. A master’s degree is the standard credential, although a bachelor’s degree is adequate for some entry-level positions, and is growing in enrollment. This course demonstrates how basic economic concepts, principles, and theories can be used to think about and illuminate various health care issues. Our text is used by students seeking their master’s degree in Health Administration. The course length is one quarter or one semester, is offered in both the spring and the fall and is taught at the graduate level. Our text does presume some familiarity with basic economic concepts presented in a microeconomics course.
