University of Minnesota Law students may complete a Concentration in Health Law & Bioethics.

Law students at the University of Minnesota Law School may declare a concentration in their area of interest. The Health Law & Bioethics Concentration allows students to focus their studies on health care delivery, public health law and ethics, international health, or issues in bioethics. Concentrations are available to all JD and LLM students, including those pursuing dual degrees. Students who have successfully completed the Concentration will receive a certificate of completion upon graduation and a notation will be added to their transcript stating that the requirements of the Concentration have been fulfilled.

These Concentrations build upon and complement the Law School's rigorous standard curriculum and give students access to the expertise of faculty throughout the University. Interested students confer early in their legal education with the Coordinator and Faculty Chair to discuss their intended course of study and how a Concentration can enhance their career development.

The Health Law & Bioethics concentration requires 12 credits, including a combination of required and recommended courses in the Law School, Graduate School, School of Public Health, and Center for Bioethics. Concentration faculty are drawn from across the University, including faculty from the Law School, School of Public Health, Medical School, and Center for Bioethics.

To enroll in the Concentration or to receive detailed information about requirements, contact Carol Rachac, Concentration Coordinator, at 612-625-3356 or crachac@umn.edu.
