Excellent material, although the peer graded system for some assignments is murder...

Great course. Very informative. Well structured.

good information

Very useful and comprehensive.

This course gives a really good overview of the healthcare marketplace!

I am new to the hospital industry in the last year, and can say I found the course quite helpful and well designed for providing a really solid fundamental overview of the different areas of the healthcare economy.

Nice explaintation

Excellent course!

Great course

I wish all of this savvy health organization were appliable to our core health system here, in Spain. Any hint?

Amazing course! Essential for professionals that want to become Strategic Advisors in the Health Sector!

Informative and a good introduction for the subject

The material was really interesting and especially timely. I enjoyed completing the peer reviewed assignments and thought it allowed us to reflect well on the material we learned.

It is a good introduction to the healthcare sector of the global economy.

Very well strucutred and with real and updated references!

Learning is part of the growing and acquisition of skills by which one can contribute to society. Coursera has very good courses. I am so happy, you provide opportunities for study and scholarship. Thanks.

totally recomeded this course if you need to learn about the medical system the EEUU

This course was very helpful to my current position working in a Hospital. It was very thought through and I enjoyed it! It kept me wanting to know more! Thank you!

A good overview of the Healthcare ecosystem. Definitely recommend to anyone who looks to get an overview into the industry. It also serves as a good base together with the other four modules for experienced professionals looking to transition into this industry.

Overall a great beginning to the course. It does comes across as a systematic dive into the rather complex world of health care in US. My only concern is related to some of the questions in the quizzes. Sometimes they are too literal, like year of XYZ etc, which comes across as test of memory rather than an evaluation of knowledge. Else I am enjoying. Am on speed. And keen to continue.

Excellent course because is: Organized, current informed, excelent references, high quality, and deliver for very experience instructors

Great course on US Healthcare Industry. very useful for novices, introduces all aspects of the industry, top issues and trends !

It's a dynamic industry so perhaps provide links where new research and statistics can be found. Great course for those new to the industry.

I thought this course would be kinda boring, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how interesting it is. Steve Parenti has a dry and sly sense of humor and the content gives me great historical and current perspective on the way healthcare works in the U.S. and to a lesser degree, in the rest of the world.

Only quibble: There are lots of typos on the slides. Sometimes these are pretty amusing, but sometimes confusing.

Also, some of the listed handouts seem to be relevant to the next course in the series, rather than to this one.

All said, I think Dr. Parenti would be someone fun to go and have a beer with.

Excellent! Very clear presentation help the learning process...
