We want to promote the following graduate course from the Foster School of Business.

Grand Challenges for Entrepreneurs explores big problems and opportunities facing society, ranging from healthcare and education, to poverty.  The course examines how solutions to these massive challenges can be researched, validated, and implemented using such entrepreneurial tools such as design thinking, business models, and lean entrepreneurship.

Students in the class will develop an  entrepreneurial mindset; when others see insurmountable problems, entrepreneurs look for opportunities to use technology and innovative thinking to solve real world problems. An entrepreneurial perspective is also a wonderful way of thinking in order to tackle new opportunities in entrepreneurship, whether it is in government, NGOs or for-profit companies.

Please note that non-Foster MBA students will need to wait until December 17, 2018 at 8:00am before you can request for the class. You can email mbaregis@uw.edu with your request at that time.

* The upcoming PSYCLIN 571 course for Fall 2018 will provide students with an in-depth, hands-on introduction to evidence-based, parenting interventions for use with children and families. The course will use the Helping the Noncompliant Child textbook to provide a solid foundation in evidence-based parenting approaches such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and The Incredible Years.  Students will learn the fundamentals of how to assess and treat behavioral problems in children and work with parents.  The course will also focus on adaptations to match client presentation, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and treatment setting. This course will include an integration of theory and practice.  A significant part of the course will involve opportunities for practice (e.g., role-plays, modeling in the classroom in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Practicing skills as homework will also be encouraged.  A goal of the class is for students to achieve competency on a subset of the skills via in-class skills demonstrations, and feedback from both the instructor and students will be given.  Still have questions or want an add code? Please contact the course instructor, Won-Fong Lau Johnson at fongj8@uw.edu. *

I’ve had the instructor, Dr. Won-Fong Lau Johnson, prepare a description of the class below. It is open to all disciplines, but they do need to email Dr. Johnson directly for registration approval and an add code.

I am writing to encourage you to register for FAMED 527: Inter-professional Care of Urban Underserved Patients. In this 1-credit course, medical and social work students will review case studies of complex underserved patients and work together to develop care plans. Each session will feature an MSW and an MD as guest speakers, and they will discuss their approach to inter-professional care, and how social workers and physicians can work together to address health disparities and barriers to care. The sessions will focus on topics including addiction, housing, insurance status, food and transportation, housing, and immigration status. The course will meet seven times during fall quarter, on Thursdays from 5:30-6:50 pm in Health Sciences E-214.  I was told that some of you have classes until 5:20pm on Thursdays.  It’s okay if you arrive a few minutes late, due to the walking time.

PUBPOL 583: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (4 credits)

Instructor: Howard McCurdy
Meets: Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30-8:20 pm; A-term, June 18-July 18
Description: From the spaceship to the computer chip, public officials work hard to promote innovation through science and technology. In turn, discoveries arising from science and technology invite governmental response. This course examines the manner in which science and technology affects public policy. Topics include the debate over how much government support is necessary to spur research and innovation, the manner in which scientific issues make their way onto the policy agenda, the players in science policy, the clash between science and political ideology, the role of government as a regulator of technology, the manner in which technology reshapes governmental organization, and the governance challenges arising from 21^st century technologies. Students additionally examine impending technologies, the relationship between popular culture and technology, and specific policy issues of interest to students in the class.

Professor McCurdy is the author of eight books on science policy, innovation, and space exploration, a professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University in Washington, D.C., and an adjunct professor at the University of Washington. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Washington and his doctorate from Cornell University.

The SPHSC department is offering a special course on Implementation Science during Summer quarter 2018. Please share the following information with any students in your program who may be interested in this topic.

SPHSC 559 – Special Topics in Speech, Language & Hearing (3 cr)
Thursday 9:30 – 12:30 in EGL 111
Please email shgradv@uw.edu for an add code
Instructor:   Dr. Jill Locke

Implementation Science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine health care, public health, and educational settings.  This course will examine existing frameworks, potential implementation outcomes, the way in which to measure outcomes, and the strategies that align with each phase of implementation (exploration, preparation, implementation and sustainment).

Space available in 2 credit, summer A-term JSIS 535: Society, Technology, and the Future, taught by James Bernard. This course explores the intersection of policy, technology and society. Technology is rapidly changing the way that humans interact with one another, markets are formed, and information is stored, shared and utilized. While technology has held and does hold great promise for being a force for both economic and social change, it also has the potential to be used in ways that threaten civil liberties, national security and data sovereignty. Private sector and civil society actors, government and military leaders, and regulators must work together to understand how new and emerging technologies will drive change across a wide range of sectors, and they must develop policies to ensure that technology is used to help improve and enrich the lives of those across the socioeconomic spectrum.
