Run as a workshop. Students evaluated based both on quality of their revisions and of final version of their works. Subject uses law as its central analytic framework. Subject attempts to give those with private sector and public sector managerial responsibilities a firm understanding of how the law shapes entrepreneurship and innovation. Subject primarily uses examples from the health care industry, but the analytic framework is broadly applicable.
Subject also relies heavily on realistic case materials.
Research is arranged by mutual agreement between the student and a member of the faculty of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, and may continue over several terms. Registration requires submission of a written proposal, signed by the faculty supervisor. A summary report must be submitted at the end of each term.
