Novartis HEOR and Medical Access Fellowships

Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation is pleased to offer two 2-year Health Economics & Outcomes Research and Medical Access Fellowship positions this year. These two-year fellowships will provide training and hands-on experience in a broad range of health economics, outcomes research, and comparative effectiveness research (CER) as conducted in academic, managed care, hospital, health policy, and/or pharmaceutical industry settings.

The fellow will spend the first year of the fellowship at an academic institution and the second year at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation in East Hanover, New Jersey.

First-year Fellowship Sites:

  • Baylor Scott and White Health/The University of Texas at Austin
  • Thomas Jefferson University

 

The objective of the first year is to educate the fellow on general principles and methods applied in HEOR. Concurrently, the fellow will participate in ongoing outcomes research projects at the first-year fellowship site. The fellowship positions differ by first-year site requirements and type of experience offered. During the second year, fellows will participate in HEOR projects and gain experience in how a pharmaceutical manufacturer uses clinical, economic, and humanistic data to support the development and commercialization of its products, with potential opportunities in neuroscience, respiratory, ophthalmology, immunology, dermatology, cardiovascular, and transplant franchises. A unique rotational opportunity (3 months) will be available on the Medical Access team based on fellow interests, where the fellow will help identify strategic trends in the external payer and health plan environment that may impact access to and reimbursement for Novartis’ products.
