PHM1139H: Diagnosing Corruption in the Health Sector and Anti-Corruption Policies and Tools

This graduate course will introduce interested and curious students to the core concepts associated with corruption generally and corruption and the health sector specifically, with a particular focus on the pharmaceutical sector. We will start the seminar with a broad discussion about corruption, what it is, how to define it, and examine how it is measured. We will then examine how international organizations are dealing with corruption in their development projects and currently during the COVID-19 pandemic. The course will then move on to specific modules dealing with core topics related to corruption and the health sector. The course will consist of lectures, class discussions, and group work through case studies. Research papers and presentations will provide students with the opportunity to probe an issue of interest.
