It will maintain a specific focus on how new tech and constitutional rights interact. Many examples will come from the US context, but the focus will be global, not exclusively America. Relevant US Supreme Court cases related to media law, as well as international law treaties and leading scholars’ articles, will play roles in enhancing students’ opportunities for analysis. In terms of content, the course will be divided into four main sections: background on basic ideas of freedom of the press, drawing from the US context but with a broader scope. Second, in-depth media law issues including net neutrality, content regulation, copyright, etc. Third will be a detailed investigation, including practical, business-oriented examples, of intellectual property law and its impact and influence. Finally, the course will conclude by looking at the future: artificial intelligence, environmental threats and opportunities, humans’ role in an increasingly technological world, etc. In this course, student work and assignments will not be limited to exclusively heavy reading of hundreds of pages of cases, translation of arcane and difficult passages, etc. The goal will be broad-based comprehension as well as cultivation of ability to think, discuss, and write critically about these important issues. The focus, of both readings as well as student writing, will be quality, not quantity. The teaching style of this course will: A) Be student-centered B) Comprehensive, and C) Ask why and how, not only what the law is. Students will need to speak and work in groups much more than potentially experienced in some other courses. And, as mentioned above in Evaluation, the semester grade will be determined by a midterm and final examination, as well as in-class participation and assignment work. Course content: Weeks 1-4: Freedoms of speech, assembly, and the press, focus on US constitutional law and broader related issues Weeks 5-8: Technical aspects of media law including content regulation, copyright, media law as a busin Two main goals: 1) Give students a broad-based understanding of key constitutional, economic, and human rights issues related to media law and new technology. 2) Improve students’ ability to analyze these topics in English.

Rapidly changing global environments, health care policy and competitive forces in an increasingly boundaryless health care delivery system demand transformative and visionary leaders. This course is designed to provide current and future health care executives with the intellectual frameworks, contemporary theory and applications to respond effectively to these dynamic changes. Building on concepts from psychology, sociology and the behavioral sciences, this course will prepare students to develop the capacity to develop, lead and transform health care organizations and the institutional networks that embody the health care delivery system. Contemporary theory suggests that the development of highly effective, transformative leaders emerges from a framework that combines self assessment and reflection embedded in the constructs of emotional intelligence, with theories and methods designed to provide the participants the latest thoughts associated with leading, individuals, teams, organizations and interorganizational networks. To identify, assess and evaluate the intrapersonal dimensions associated with Emotional Intelligence (EQ) To analyze and evaluate your strategies for leading individuals, groups and organizations To discover, assess and develop a personal philosophy of leadership that will enable you to lead effectively in an increasingly diversity and highly dynamic globalized world To increase your knowledge of the scholarly literature and contemporary thought for leading, developing and empowering individuals To increase your effectiveness in the design and transformation of organizations and interorganizational networks To internalize the values and responsibilities that are necessary to ensure the delivery of high quality, patient focused health care in a community and global health care perspective To understand the changing roles of leadership and personal and professional responsibilities in a complex, globalized organizational and dynamically changing social context To gain insights into your career development College of Public Health Downtown Campus-College of Public Health Satisfactory performance in this class requires that you: Read all materials assigned for each class session prior to the class meeting days listed on the syllabus Effectively participate in the seminar discussions and class activities Participate as a member of a team briefing the class on the key points discussed in the assigned readings Develop and maintain a journal that summarizes the key insights you gained from each class session Complete and score all assigned self assessment inventories prior to the class meeting Develop a final paper on “The Best Practices for Effectively Leading Health Care Organizations Robert C.

The aim of this course is to provide a general introduction to the research methods and application in global health. The examples and data are drawn from published literatures related to evidence-based medicine and health data research. The course will start with basic concepts of global health and evidence-based approach. Then, more advanced topics will be introduced, such as selection of a topic of interest, setting up the search strategy for literature review, and formation of a synthesis. Introduction to the management of public health data, as well as the assessment for quality of care using health claims data, will also be provided. Three special lectures will also be provided by experts in the relevant fields. Students will be guided to conduct projects related to their research, and present their results at the end of this semester. By the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. Understand the concepts and rationales of evidence-based medicine within the framework of global health. 2. Understand the process of forming a synthesis from literature review, quality assessment, statistical analysis, to manuscript writing. 3. Understand the statistical theory and the application of different statistical theories of meta-analysis. 4. Understand the management and assessment of quality of care for health data. 5. Report the results from their personal project properly. College of Public Health Downtown Campus-College of Public Health 1. Students should have the basic concept of epidemiology and biostatistics. 2. Students should have the basic concept of systematic review and meta-analysis. 3.
