Responsibilities:

As US Healthcare faces significant financial and other challenges, pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies are working to holistically assess and communicate the value of their products to patients, physicians and payers. The goal of the two-year Health Economic & Outcomes Research (HEOR) Fellowship is to develop professionals who

will understand the healthcare ecosystem and how to analyze the intrinsic/potential value of pharmaceutical products for all stakeholders. They will learn how the value of pharmaceutical products is identified, quantified, adapted, evolved, and communicated across the life cycle of the product. From first in human trials, to an investigational product under FDA review, through product launch, and finally to product nearing loss of patent exclusivity.
