The Centre for Health Economics (CHE), Faculty of Business and Economics Monash University, has been at the forefront of health economics teaching and research in Australia for more than 13 years. As one of the two largest concentrations of senior health economists in Australia, it has a strong track record of health economics research, teaching and community service. Its more than 600 publications represent a significant part of the country's total health economics output. The overriding goal of the Centre is to undertake and promote high quality health economics research and teaching, with both a national and international focus.
This four unit Graduate Certificate course is designed to provide an understanding of the economics of pharmaceuticals in health care systems. It provides the skills necessary to apply economic analysis to the broad issues of industry development as well as the specific skills to: prepare a cost effectiveness analysis of a drug; apply economic modeling to support the inclusion or exclusion of a drug on a national or hospital formulary; design a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and cost of effectiveness of drugs; and apply methods of evaluating health and non-health outcomes of drug use.
The course has been prepared by Monash University academic staff who have considerable experience and expertise in the economic and clinical evaluation of pharmaceuticals in industry and government. Admission to the course will be open to applicants who possess an undergraduate degree or equivalent tertiary qualification.
