Ethics and History of Development and Health Care in Costa Rica
- "This program examines the health care system in Costa Rica, a developing nation that has in many ways been successful in providing health care and other services. We will look historically and culturally at how its health care system came to be, and how it operates within the present political and social milieu.

And we will compare how analogous issues arise and are dealt with in the United States."
