The institution requests specific recommendations about introducing new policies or new medicines. The students have to collect and analyze information, make recommendations based on this research about introducing new policies and give reasons for your recommendations. These must have a scientific basis.
After completion, students should have
- Have a basic understanding of healthcare systems and the role of the pharmaceutical industry within these systems
- Knowledge of the economic instruments used in managing the reimbursement of medicines
