Having dedicated my career to healthcare and academia, I am deeply committed to preparing the next generation of healthcare leaders. I have taught these concepts since 2017 and found that many books either do not focus enough on healthcare as it relates to the legal realm or are too in depth for a introductory course. I wanted to combine the information I have found to support the concepts taught in my course into something that was easy to read and more palatable to novice learners. Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, and I am committed to creating an environment where all students can thrive. Therefore, I wanted to design a textbook at no cost that would complement any undergraduate law course for healthcare administration and health science students. I encourage faculty users to explore the topics and concepts that may help teach the fundamentals of healthcare law. Feel free to tailor this material to your needs in the learning environment.
