Lifelong Learning Faculty Seminars: Additional Reading

 

The aging of the population and the proliferation of medical technologies create an explosion in medical costs. Pretending that we can afford to pay for any medical technology, no matter how expensive, is no longer feasible. Difficult decisions about the appropriate utilization of medical technologies will need to be made. This seminar will explore how economic analysis can guide these decisions.
