圣路易斯大学

Saint Louis University's Master of Laws in Health Law is a one-year program that was created for two types of lawyers: those seeking an in-depth introduction to the practice of health law and those who have a health law background but who are seeking exposure to new developments in health law.

This highly selective program allows each student individual attention and close faculty supervision. Students are encouraged to complete scholarly writing, attend the health law colloquia and participate in directed research projects. Students may choose from a range of foundational and specialized health law and policy courses and learn from faculty with more than 177 years of collective health law teaching experience. Students are also offered externship opportunities including the “Health Law Semester” in Washington, D.C.

Students in the program have access to SLU's top-tier faculty as well as to leading scholars, practitioners and employers. Students will also have access to our network of more than 1,150 health law alumni across the country.
