Students will work under the supervision of a licensed attorney to conduct legal research
on regional healthcare authorities (RHCAs). Areas of inquiry could include where RHCAs
exist, why and how they were formed, how they are managed, funding and revenue
structures, and what services they offer. Students may also investigate federal, state, and
local laws and regulations that may relate to the proposal, creation, and/or management of
RHCAs, as well as best practices. Findings will be used to inform feasibility and prospective
implementation strategies for RHCAs.
