Impact of a Training Program in Pharmacoeconomics and Health Outcomes

Class of 2007 Abstract / Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a training program in health outcomes and pharmacoeconomics (PE) to determine how it has impacted PE application in the workplace and what topics and teaching methods are most useful to participants.
Methods: This study is a descriptive study of data obtained through a questionnaire that surveyed course participants from the 2005 and 2006 University of Arizona Health Outcomes and PharmacoEconomic Center training programs.
Results: There were a total of 20 respondents from the two programs, 70% had a pharmacy background and 55% practice in a pharmaceutical industry setting. The respondents felt that lecture based workshops were the most helpful and 90% responded that the program enhanced their communication with colleagues regarding PE and outcomes research.
Conclusions: The program participants benefited from participation in the training program and have integrated material from the training program into the workplace. Lecture and case-based workshops were the most useful teaching methods used in the training program.
