Hirsh Health Law and Policy Program

The Hirsh Health Law and Policy Program is closely affiliated with the Center for Health Services Research and Policy (CHSRP), which is nationally recognized for its body of law- and policy-related health services research and which is also located in the SPHHS Department of Health Policy.

Students studying through the Hirsh Program are eligible to be considered for CHSRP Research Assistantships. Research projects often bring students into contact with federal and state government agencies, congressional offices, private foundations, and public and private health organizations that utilize CHSRP research.

Hirsh Program faculty also direct the Public Health Law Department of Public Health Reports, the journal of the U.S. Public Health Service, published bi-monthly in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Public Health by Oxford University Press. Student research opportunities exist here as well.
