Healthcare reform is back on the political agenda in Washington and in California. In this course leading health policy researchers at the UCSF Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies will serve as guides to health reform. What’s wrong with healthcare? How can we fi x it? How might we get care and pay for it in a reformed system? And can healthcare reform really make us more healthy? No one can predict which side will win the health reform battle, but this course will help understand what’s at stake.

What can be done now to set our children on the right track? This course, taught by UCSF pediatric specialists and surgeons will focus on a wide range of topics that pertain to children and teens and how intervention and treatment now can have major consequences for their future lives well beyond just their health. Topics will include up-to-date discussions of vaccination, childhood obesity, probiotics, and pediatric emergencies, as well as explorations of how hearing, speech, and the mind both develop and go awry.

Few topics are more controversial than nutrition. With new scientifi c fi ndings published daily and discussed widely in the media, with vast amounts of media advertising about what food to eat and what supplements to take, with enticing food wherever we turn, and with a biologic environment that makes us hungry three times a day, how do we know how to eat to stay healthy? This course, presented by an interdisciplinary team of UCSF clinicians and scientists, will explore the concept of healthy eating and explain the molecular and hormonal basis of energy balance and appetite control. You will learn why it is so hard to keep pounds off , what supplements and vitamins to take and which ones to avoid, and why certain diets work and others don’t.
