Liked the information I got re: history of medicine, found the business/economics side of things I little "silvertongue-ey" and the assignment kind of confusing and overly demanding.
Great! Instructor Parente gives big overviews but dives into the nitty gritty and gives effective examples to illustrate concepts!
The material was really interesting and especially timely. I enjoyed completing the peer reviewed assignments and thought it allowed us to reflect well on the material we learned.
Instructor seems knowledgeable and gives a good overview of healthcare especially for a beginner like me. Sometime it felt he has been teaching this course since long time and is bored by the content.
