Hey all,

I recently completed a placement in market access/insights and have regulatory affairs coursework under my belt, so I've been trying to break into HEOR/Health Economics & Market Access roles at medical device and pharma companies.

I've been doing a lot of networking on LinkedIn, reaching out to people in roles I'm interested in, trying to get warm intros through people who supervised my placement

It's been a mix of some traction (warm intros, people forwarding my info to hiring managers) and a lot of waiting/silence otherwise.

Has anyone else been down this road, trying to get into HEOR, market access, or health economics roles as a recent grad? How long did it take you? Did networking/cold outreach actually move the needle for you, or was it more about the applications themselves? Any advice on what actually worked would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a healthcare related project I've been working on as part of my thesis. The thesis is now done, and I'm not sure what to do with the project next.

The project looks at geriatric patients and emergency medicine, specifically how to make their transition through care smoother.

A bit of context: I don't have a background in healthcare or science. My thesis was in Human Centered Design. So I'm wondering what a reasonable next step looks like once the academic part is over. Ideally something that could be innovative, but my real goal is to build something meaningful whether that means continuing the project, testing if it's feasible, or turning it into something bigger....etc.

Basically I need some outside brains to help me think about this more broadly. If you've taken a research or thesis project and done something with it afterward, I'd love to hear how you approached it.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently pursuing an MSc in International Health Economics & Pharmacoeconomics in Germany, after completing a PharmD in India.
I’m looking for a Werkstudent/internship in areas like Health Economics, HEOR, HTA, Market Access, Pricing & Reimbursement, or Pharmacoeconomics.
I’d love some honest advice from people working in this field in Germany:
How difficult is it for an international graduate to get the first relevant internship/Werkstudent role?
How important is German? Is B1/B2 enough, or is C1 usually expected?
Which skills should I prioritize — Excel, R, cost-effectiveness modelling, Markov models, systematic reviews, IQWiG/G-BA/AMNOG?
Which companies/organisations are worth targeting?
What does the career progression and salary realistically look like after graduation?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who started their Health Economics/HTA/Market Access career in Germany as international graduates.
Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm a Year 12 student in Victoria hoping to become a Market Access Manager. What uni course should i take? AI told me a Bachelor of pharmacy is good but looking to get some answers from actual Market Access Managers.

I'm planning to do a Bachelor of Pharmacy + 1 yr honours at monash; does anyone have any stronger alternatives?

Also whats the pay, graduate opportunities/ career progression like?

Thanks
