I needed an extra class and I am glad I chose 175. My major has nothing to do with healthcare but this class was still interesting and engaging. The guest speakers really made the class, their different perspectives were unique and thought-provoking. Overall just a nice class where you can learn and not worry about being graded.
Class is pass or no pass once a week. with a weekly reflection, that is it. Not a difficult class and you get to learn an interesting topic while getting upper division units.
Jaconette's healthcare delivery class is pretty cool, brings in people from healthcare industry (doctors, pharmaceutical reps, insurance people, PAs, nurses, dentists, etc.) to talk to us about their jobs. Learned a lot about structure of healthcare system. Lectures can get super long and boring though, so beware of 2-3 hour classes. Only 1/week.
Enthusiastic teacher. Great lectures and guest speakers. If you have any interest in healthcare, take this class.
