Jaime S. King is a Professor of Law and the Associate Dean and Co-Director of the UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Science, Law and Health Policy, the Executive Editor of The Source on Healthcare Price and Competition, and the Co-Director of the Concentration on Law and Health Sciences. In 2015, she also received the UC Hastings Foundation Faculty Award for Outstanding Scholarship.
King’s research examines some of the most complex challenges facing the U.S. healthcare system. An advocate for health reform, King focuses on the drivers of healthcare costs, with a special interest in market consolidation and efforts to improve transparency in healthcare pricing. In conjunction with Consortium Senior Fellow, Anne Marie Helm, she founded The Source on Healthcare Price and Competition, a multi-disciplinary web-based resource for information and analysis about healthcare cost and competition.
King’s scholarship also examines questions of individual autonomy and the states’ police power. Specifically, she focuses on medical decision making and constitutional and regulatory questions regarding reproductive genetic testing. Currently, she is collaborating with UCSF faculty to examine the legal and ethical implications of conducting whole genome sequencing on newborns.
