The Health Law curriculum offers LL.M. candidates substantive courses in health law, complemented by field placements in a wide variety of settings, including the New York State Health Department and the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation.

An unusual opportunity available here is an interdisciplinary seminar that is team-taught by an Albany Medical College faculty member along with an Albany Law School professor and is open to law students and resident physicians in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Albany Medical Center Hospital.

In addition to our Health Law curriculum, we offer a wealth of course offerings in other areas of concentration that overlap with health law, such as government law and policy, science and technology, intellectual property, and environmental law. Students wishing to pursue a Health Law LL.M. will have the opportunity to study in these related areas as well.

At least 18 of 24 credits must be earned in core courses, up to three credits in a placement approved by the faculty advisor, and up to six credits in Health Law research and writing projects completed under faculty supervision.
