The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School

Health Law Curriculum at Harvard Law School

Harvard Law School has one of the strongest, most diverse health law curriculums in the country. For the 2007-08 academic year, the Harvard Law School will offer close to a dozen courses, six during the 2007 fall semester alone. Links to upcoming and recent course descriptions appear below.

Combined with the vast resources at the Law School and Harvard University, affiliates of the Center benefit from Boston’s preeminence as a magnet for biotechnology firms and health policy related organizations, adding uniquely to the depth and variety of resources available to students. Personal and frequent interaction with the world’s leading scholars and practitioners in the fields of health law policy, biotechnology and bioethics is an unparalleled advantage of the experience Harvard Law School offers in these fields.
