    "page_content": "<hr />\r\n<h3>Program Overview</h3>\r\n<p>The Master of Jurisprudence (MJ) in Health Law is designed for those seeking a career in a law-related field, but not seeking to practice law as an attorney. A bachelor's degree is required, but prior legal or healthcare experience is not. Our expert faculty and innovative curriculum provide students with an introduction to the U.S. legal system, health law and policy, healthcare-related regulations such as the False Claims Act, HIPAA, HI-TECH, and more. Working through real-world simulations, students learn the elements of an efficient and effective compliance program, resolve compliance and ethics issues through investigations, audits, and discipline. During the capstone course, students will prepare a complete compliance program for their chosen industry. Students receive intensive preparation to work in regulatory compliance, risk management, financial fraud, anti-kickback, pharmaceutical operations, investigations, auditing, compliance training, and more, to meet the needs and requirements of compliance programs for healthcare organizations.</p>\r\n<p>Professionals benefiting from such training include:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>hospital compliance managers</li>\r\n<li>compliance officers</li>\r\n<li>risk managers</li>\r\n<li>privacy compliance professionals</li>\r\n<li>medical regulatory affairs specialists</li>\r\n<li>nursing home administrators</li>\r\n<li>pharmacists</li>\r\n<li>nurses</li>\r\n<li>paralegals</li>\r\n<li>information and records management staff</li>\r\n<li>healthcare fraud and abuse investigators</li>\r\n<li>government and agency officials</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Other Healthcare Compliance Educational Opportunities</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>For those who currently hold a juris doctor (JD) degree, we offer a <a href=\"ipl://809//W10=////\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Master of Law in Health Law.</a></li>\r\n<li>A <a href=\"ipl://180//W10=////\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">graduate-level certificate is also available.</a></li>\r\n<li>For those seeking to gain knowledge on specialty legal or compliance topics offered through our course catalog, but not seeking to enter a degree program, we offer the option for students to <a href=\"ipl://179//W10=////\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">take up to three courses as a non-matriculated student</a> without committing to a degree program.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Accreditation</h3>\r\n<p>Delaware Law is accredited by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB), and one of a few accredited law schools to offer an entirely online MJ in health law with a concentration in regulatory analysis and compliance.
