AIDS Policy Clinic
This clinic is a section of the AIDS Legal Assistance Project in which students will focus on policy work rather than direct client representation. Students in this clinic will work on policy initiatives aimed at increasing access to quality, comprehensive health care for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The policy work will focus on barriers to access to care and prevention, including HIV-related stigma, Medicaid-funded transportation, access to HIV medications, and implementation of health care reform in North Carolina. Students will work to inform policy recommendations and advocacy strategies at the regional, state and county levels in executive, legislative and regulatory arenas. Over the course of a semester, students can expect to accumulate a wealth of hands-on experience in current and emerging health policy issues on the state and federal level. Students will conduct legal and fact-based research to inform policy recommendations, produce in-depth reports, comment letters, presentations and draft legislation or regulatory guidance. Each student will focus on particular policy project(s) and will be required to spend a minimum of 100 hours on their clinic project(s). We will have regular group meetings with students and clinic faculty throughout the semester.
