Law students in Legal Problem Solving, a class taught by Professor Cat Moon ’98 (BA’92), collaborated with students in VU’s schools of medicine and engineering and VUMC medical staff in 2018 on a project to redesign the surgical informed consent process for VUMC patients. This project was featured in a new book, Health Design Thinking: Creating Products and Services for Better Health , by Bon Ku and Ellen Lupton (MIT Press, 2020) as an example of applying the principles of design thinking to real-world health care challenges.
