What is Pharmacoeconomics?

Pharmacoeconomics is a subset of health economics that measures and compares the relative value of pharmaceutical products or medical interventions. Healthcare decision-makers use pharmacoeconomic data to allocate scarce healthcare dollars to treatments that bring the most value.

How has your degree helped you?

“When I finished, I was able to explore and secure a position with GSK. I absolutely believe that this degree helped me get promoted even before graduating. When I finished and was looking to move companies, I was able to secure a director level position with a higher salary. I moved from a regional Health Outcomes Liaison position with my previous employer to a National Health Outcomes Liaison with GSK. "

Is this program a good fit for me?

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds. Many are pharmacists looking to specialize in economics. Many have jobs in companies they love and are looking to advance their careers. Some fit neither of these profiles yet are passionate about improving the affordability of health care.

Why did you choose online POP?

“So that I would be able to utilize the skills I learn in the program to better analyze data and model data more effectively for the managed care setting I end up working in. This program also provides me with an opportunity to expand my knowledge in drug pricing and reimbursement as well as prescription benefit design to become a more well-rounded managed care pharmacist."
