Introduction
Through the experiential learning process, you will be immersed in health policy development and learning about the legislative process. Consider advocacy and principles of leadership for engagement in local, community, and global health issues. Reflect upon the implications of your health policy across disciplines. The health policy brief is a written document that provides a summary of evidence-based best practices or policy options for a public health issue. Prepare your health policy brief on a current health policy issue of your choosing.
