Dr. Pierre-Pascal Gendron – Diploma Module Proposal
Title: A Primer on Health Economics
Abstract
This module applies microeconomic theory to analyze the challenges health care systems face
and how to improve health care and health outcomes. Frameworks for examining and solving
health care problems are developed and used to analyze medical care markets and perform
economic evaluation. They are also used to model and explain both the demand and supply sides
of health care, including: population health and determinants of health, health measurement, cost
of service provision, resource planning, and the markets for insurance, physicians, hospitals,
pharmaceuticals, and alternative funding and delivery models. Finally, the module considers the
role of government in health care delivery and public policy, including the efficiency, equity,
informational, and distributional aspect of policies.
