Scenario 1: Policy Analysis and Development 

In this scenario, you will act as an intern working in a health care policy internship program in a Senator’s office in Washington, D.C. The Senator wants to develop a policy that requires all health care organizations that receive federal funds to implement the recommendations presented in the Institute of Medicine reports on quality care. You will develop a policy so that it can become proposed legislation. To do so, you must collect data, describe the problem, describe solutions and related ethical issues, examine the cost-benefit analysis, identify stakeholders (such as lobbyists from American Hospital Association, health care providers, health care corporations, pharmaceuticals, insurers, etc.), and impact. Based on this information, you will create a policy description that will be the foundation for a bill.

Scenario 2: Going From Policy to Law

In this scenario, you will act as an intern working with the Senator’s team to get a health care bill passed. You must follow the legislative process to select committees, identify stakeholders, communicate with health care providers about their role, and identify key departments that will be responsible if the bill is passed. You will provide your recommendation to the Senator and her staff members.
