The Center for Health Law Studies at Saint Louis University is Best in Nation
For the fifth consecutive year, U.S.News & World Report has named Saint Louis University’s health law program the best in the nation. U.S. News issued the rankings in its “Best Graduate Schools 2009″ issue, which hits newsstands Monday, March 31, 2008.
Since health law rankings began more than a decade ago, the School’s Center for Health Law Studies has ranked in the top three programs. The Center features some of the nation’s most respected faculty and offers dual-degree programs with Saint Louis University’s School of Public Health and Center for Health Care Ethics.
Graduates of SLU’s health law program are employed in the nation’s leading health law practices and top health care companies, as well as federal and state agencies.
Thomas J. Greaney, co-director of SLU’s Center for Health Law Studies, welcomed the No. 1 honor from U.S. News.
“The ranking is really a tribute to the outstanding and diverse faculty members we have teaching health law subjects and to the outstanding students we’ve been able to attract to the program,” Greaney said.
The largest industry in the United States, health care also is the most regulated, making health law education increasingly important. The expanding field addresses the quality, cost and availability of health care as well as other key issues, such as technology and ethics.
Overall, U.S News ranked SLU’s law school in the top 100 of all accredited law schools in the United States.
