Most health economics, HEOR and market access vacancies are posted first to employer career pages, not to general job boards. LinkedIn and sites like Indeed carry only a fraction of these roles, and much of what they do show under “health economics” is keyword-matched noise from unrelated fields. A specialised job board that monitors employer career pages directly, EuropeanHealthEconomics.com, currently … Lees meer
Gebruik alstublieft de originele vacatures in het Engels bij het solliciteren naar functies. Ik had onze AI-vertaaltool gevraagd om één pagina te vertalen, maar deze sloeg op hol en vertaalde alle 400 vacatures in plaats daarvan naar 8 talen.

What is Actually Different? If you are exploring Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) roles, you have probably noticed that job postings from pharmaceutical companies look quite different from those at consultancies. That is not a coincidence. A review of recent HEOR job postings reveals a distinct structural divide between the two sectors. Understanding this divide helps you judge where … Lees meer

Value and access is one of the newer function categories in health economics, and the scope of these roles is not always clear, even to people working in the field. They sit at the intersection of health economics, market access, pricing and reimbursement, and the job titles and descriptions vary widely across companies and sectors. To get a clearer picture … Lees meer

Search “health economist” on LinkedIn or Indeed and the results look promising at first glance. Dozens of listings. Plenty of activity. But start reading and the picture changes quickly. Half the results are not health economics roles. They are health advisors, public health consultants or general economist positions with “health” or “economics” loosely attached to the job description. Health economics … Lees meer
