Certification Programme in Fundamentals of Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR)

Why This Certification Programme?

With a surge in access and exploitation of healthcare, resources have become more confined, and prioritization in healthcare has become inevitable. Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) is a discipline, which complements conventional clinical development data to guide decision makers regarding patient access services. It establishes efficacy of the product or service, compares its effectiveness to other interventions and considers its incremental cost efficiency.

HEOR is an increasingly important domain, as rising healthcare costs continue to challenge the global economy and despite evidence that additional spending is not associated with increased value in outcomes, costs or quality. No matter whether you are a student or a graduate, exploring to tackle a thriving career in an industry or a multi-national pharma enterprise, this certification programme is your preliminary requisite to enhance your knowledge and skills in the field of HEOR.
