1 CARLETON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION PADM 5221W (ALSO PADM 4221W) HEALTH POLICY IN CANADA Allan Maslove Winter Dunton Tower Ph: , ext 1285 Office hours: Tuesday: 10:00 noon and by appointment class meetings: Monday: 2:30 5:30 Course Objectives Health care in Canada is simultaneously an important public service, a major sector of the economy, an emotional touchstone, and more. Further, specific policies and the fundamental properties of the Canadian health care system are increasingly open to debate and challenge. This course will provide perspectives on these issues. It will begin with an overview of the basic parameters of the Canadian health care system and then move on to examine many of the challenges and major issues that are currently being debated. Prerequisite PADM 5111; PADM 5117 Course Requirements 1. Most topics will be explored through seminar discussion. For each topic 2 or 3 students will be assigned to lead the discussion and to clearly delineate the issues of debate. Students will be graded on these presentations (25% of total grade) and on general participation in the discussions (10%). 2. A research paper that explores in more depth a topic covered in the course. The topic should be cleared with me very early on in the course. The paper should identify a significant
2 current problem or potential challenge to Medicare, discuss why it is a problem, and carefully conduct an analysis and draw policy-relevant conclusions. Both political and economic dimensions of the issue should be included in your analysis. Students may write the research paper as an individual project, or two or three students may collaborate on a co-authored paper. If the paper is co-authored, the authors agree that responsibility will be shared equally and each author will receive the same grade for the paper. The individually authored papers should be in the range of pages; co-authored papers will be expected to be longer (specifics to be discussed with the instructor). (65%) Instructional Offences Academic offences are serious infractions and will not be tolerated. Students should consult Section 14 of the Faculty of Graduate Studies Calendar, General Regulations concerning instructional offences.
