Online Self-Study Programme: Basics of Health Economics

I found the course/content extremely comprehensive and especially valuable as a person not fully immersed in health economics! I have already been able to apply some of the concepts to my current role and no doubt can apply them in the future.

My company made the “Basics of Health Economics” course possible for me and my team! Lieven Annemans is an extremely good trainer. Bringing in so much clarity, drive and passion is a big challenge – especially online – but he succeeded. I really enjoyed the course. I'm looking forward to putting what I've learned into practice every day.

I would recommend this training for everybody working in pharma (who isn’t a health economics expert). This training brings all the basic concepts of health economics and helps you to understand how complex it is to estimate the value of a medicine. It also brings the perspective of a payer: what are they interested in, what are they taking into consideration. Cherry on the cake: Prof. Annemans is a great teacher.

The self-study programme with Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans exceeded all my expectations. Prof. Annemans is an exceptional speaker, and his crystal-clear explanations made complex topics easy to understand. Throughout the course, I gained substantial knowledge, which is not always guaranteed with many trainings out there. The programme also included some challenging questions and exercises, which I found very beneficial. It's important to be pushed beyond your comfort zone occasionally, and this course did that in the best way possible. I highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to expand their understanding in this field.

During the study I learnt a lot and I really enjoyed listening to the lectures. The lectures are very good and interesting!

The Basics of Health Economics course was very beneficial for me as Medical Affairs. Simply and clearly explained what QALY and ICER are (and of course many other concepts) with practical examples. I also really appreciate the clarity in the English language.

Absolutely loved the course, I have learnt so much over these modules and am keen to learn more about Health Economics. I really enjoyed the content, Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans was such a delight to follow, and he is so knowledgeable in this field so the modules are really easy to follow & understand.

Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans was very engaging even though the training was virtual. Each of the modules was very interactive and mimicked an in-person training session. The content was also delivered in a very basic format for easy assimilation.

The professor presents new information in an interesting, understandable and attractive way. This was a great opportunity to gain new knowledge in a very short period of time in a format convenient for me.

Great course and good follow-up from the team.

The course provides a great overview of the key concepts of Health Economics with a clear, effective and flexible programme, based on the experience of Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans.

This course is right for anyone new to the concept of Health Economics; it teaches the most relevant skills to start thinking about the subject.

I highly recommend the self-study programme! Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans gives a very broad and clear overview of all the different topics in health economics in a well-balanced way: not too detailed but also not too superficial.

This course is truly a great value for money. It has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of health economic topics and has empowered me to actively participate in discussions with our reimbursement team. It's not every day that a course surpasses expectations, but this one certainly did.

I highly recommend the self-study programme! Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans’ lectures were very clear, and the exercises were helpful to consolidate learning. I really liked the flexibility given the self-study nature of the programme.

10/10 recommendation for this self-study programme! Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans explains the concepts in a very clear way, and the exercises were very illustrative.

Wonderful opportunity to learn the basics of Health Economics. Excellent professor, and excellent follow up from CELforPharma!

It was a great experience and valuable time spent to get insights into Health Economics.

I would like to thank you for the excellent online self-study programme! Logistically and content-wise it was truly excellent. I enjoyed Lieven Annemans who is really an outstanding lecturer.

I can highly recommend this programme to anyone who would like to gain a foundational knowledge on Health Economics. The course is well designed and combines theoretical concepts with practical examples. Prof. Dr. Annemans explains complex models in an easily understandable way, which makes the programme interesting. After participating in this training, I gained a better understanding on how payers apply ICER thresholds, how budget impact is calculated and other relevant concepts that are highly relevant for many functions within the pharma industry.

The programme was practical and concise around Pharmacoeconomics basics. I believe that the expertise and familiarity with the topics by Prof. Annemans were key to have a meaningful learning experience.

I really enjoyed this programme and easily learned the basics of Health Economics. My previous knowledge was limited and I can now say that I master the key principles. Prof. Annemans is a great speaker and trainer.

I would highly recommend this introductory course as Dr. Lieven Annemans does a wonderful job of explaining concepts and demonstrating how they apply to the real world. He makes learning interesting and fun with sprinkling a bit of humour here and there. I have a much better understanding of the concepts and look forward to applying them in my role.

Basics of Health Economics is an excellent training, and I enjoyed this learning experience a lot. The content is very clear, interesting and relevant for many functions in the pharma industry.

This is a fantastic course for someone with very basic knowledge of health economics. Prof Lieven Annemans is very engaging and explains concepts very well. I work in medical affairs and I feel much more equipped to be able to challenge cost-effectiveness and budget impact models. Thanks!

It was really a pleasure to go through the training, and I really enjoyed it. Prof. Annemans is a great speaker, and the process is very smooth and logical.

This course includes both theoretical and practical aspects, resulting in an excellent training.

In the last few years, market access has become the most important success factor for the pharma industry. Without a basic understanding of market access, it's not possible to survive, even if you are the best marketeer. After participating in this training, I feel very comfortable in any conversation related to cost-effectiveness, budget impact and many others. Prof. Annemans is a great teacher, his explanations are smart, easy to follow and always illustrated with examples. The exercises at the end of each block and their detailed solution at the beginning of the next block make it even more digestible and easy to remember. If this training will be continued I'll definitely participate. Thank you!

Prof. Dr. Annemans explains complex health economic models in an approachable manner to participants with no previous knowledge. Yet, at the same time, also gives participants tools to not only create simple, but in-depth health economic evaluations of their own. Participants are left with a vast health economic toolbox, where the limit in what can be done after the course lies only in the participant themselves. A very practical course with good examples and productive assignments to be handed in.

I really liked the whole course. The professor is clear and focused on his explanations. It's easy to learn the key concepts of health economics at your own pace.

Working through the math on simple models has really helped imbed the concepts. I feel like I will ask better questions in the future, and understand the answers!

I recommend the programme not just to colleagues with Market Access positions, but to all the colleagues/managers on the affected areas, who have any connection to plan or put any new product on the market. This programme can guarantee a common language & understanding of each other.

The course gives a great overview on the topic and the different concepts are well explained and supported with real-life examples.

A very insightful training! Prof. Lieven Annemans provides a thorough and understandable introduction to Health Economics with examples and exercises that help the trainee understand their main principles and mindset!

The course was informative, very well organised and will absolutely be useful in my work as a business coach for innovative start-ups. I strongly recommend this course for professionals who need to improve their knowledge in health economy in a structured and time-efficient way.

This was one of the best online courses I had so far. Very structured approach to teaching, excellent speaker and useful exercises. I really enjoyed all the modules and fully recommend to any of my Medtech colleagues.

It was actually a lot of fun learning the basics of Health Economics with this program. Prof. Dr. Lieven Annemans is able to explain complex models in a simple and interesting way.

The programme starts from level zero so there is no need for any knowledge on Health Economics to start and the exercises throughout add an extra dimension in the learning process. Prof. Annemans is a master in explaining complex concepts in an easily understandable way and knows exactly what and where to repeat information as he goes through each module. Overall an excellent programme that completely met my expectations and that I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn about Health Economics from the beginning. Thank you very much!

I joined this course with very little previous exposure to Health Economics concepts. This course was extremely beneficial and gave me in just a couple of weeks a good understanding of the basic concepts, tools and methods and how & when they should be applied. The tests that follow each of the 5 modules gave me the opportunity to understand what my knowledge gaps were and to solidify my notions. I highly recommend this course to every newcomer into access.

It's a very well-structured course with the right balance between theory, practical examples, and exercises. Prof. Lieven Annemans' knowledge and communication skills make the course very interesting!

My company made the “Basics of Health Economics” course possible for me and my team! Lieven Annemans is an extremely good trainer.
