Objective: The purpose of the seminar is to provide HMS Pharmaceutical Policy Research Fellows and other interested students and researchers with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct rigorous pharmaceutical policy research. The seminar focuses on:
  • pressing US and international medicines policy issues; and
  • cutting edge methodologies to rigorously assess medicines policy effects
  • Intended Audience: Attendees are assumed to have a basic understanding of research design and multivariate regression methods and will likely include:
    • Pharmaceutical Policy Research Fellows
    • Doctoral and Masters level students in health policy and related fields
    • Residents and MD fellows
    • Researchers and policymakers interested in pharmaceutical policy.
    Organization: The seminar features presentations by renowned faculty in their field, and special presentations by stakeholders in the pharmaceutical policy arena (e.g., industry, managed care organizations, policymakers, advocates). In addition, the seminar serves as a platform for HMS Pharmaceutical Policy Research Fellows to present their Fellowship work.
