Global Health Leadership Forum (GHLF)
The Global Health Leadership Forum (GHLF) is an innovative program for senior health executives focusing on health policy issues of global importance. The GHLF was created by the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and the UPF Center for Research in Health and Economics (CRES), and the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics joined the initiative in its sixth edition (2009). The course is divided in two intensive sessions of one week to be held in Berkeley (California, USA) and Barcelona (Catalonia-Spain). MethodologyThe curriculum includes renowned senior faculty and guest speakers. In consultation with expert faculty, participants will select a project based on “real world” country or company issues and will continue to work with faculty advisors during the six-month interim between sessions. Using a mixture of case studies, seminars, workshops and an independent project, participants will learn cutting edge approaches to address health policy issues of global importance such as:
• Implications of technology changes on health care
• Public/private health insurance combinations
• Strategies for health systems change
• Innovations in payer and health delivery connections
• Corporate health diplomacy
• Information therapy for consumers
• Pharmaceutical innovation, pricing, and regulation
• Insurance reform
