UCLA School of Public Health Students to Share Virtual Classroom With French PeersDate: February 11, 2003Contact: Dan Page (email)Phone: (310) 794-2265 WHAT: Pharmaceutical economics students at UCLA's School of Public Health and at the Ecole Superieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales (ESSEC), a prestigious French business school in Paris, will share a virtual classroom. WHO: Stuart Schweitzer, UCLA professor of Health Services, and Gerard Viens, an ESSEC professor, will merge their classes via a videoconferencing system. WHEN: 8 to 10 a.m. PST, Tuesday, Feb. 11. WHERE: UCLA School of Public Health. BACKGROUND: The French health-care system and its policies toward pharmaceutical regulation, access and reimbursement differ greatly from the U.S. system. A recent comparison of the world's health-care systems ranked France No. 1 and the United States No. 37. The UCLA students will learn about what makes the French system work so well, while the ESSEC students will learn about U.S. health-care features such as managed care and quality assurance. The UCLA course - Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy - is offered through the Department of Health Services' Program in Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy. The program, directed by William Comanor, UCLA professor of health services, is one of approximately a half dozen programs in research and teaching in the pharmaceutical industry in the country, and the only one located in a school of public health rather than in a pharmacy or business school. MEDIA CONTACT: To visit the virtual classroom and arrange interviews, contact Dan Page at (310) 794-2265 or email him. PARKING: Please contact Dan Page for parking reservations. < Back to Archive 2003 << Back to Press Releases |
