ISOQOL Education Course
Wednesday, October 24 | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM IST | Presented by Somali Misra Burgess, PhD
Introduction to Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) for the Pharma/Biotech Industry
PCOR is crucial to successful product development in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. PCOR scientists seeking to pursue a career aligned with this industry should understand the product development process, the product lifecycle, the scientific communication process and interactions with key industry stakeholders – both internal and external (i.e. regulators and payers). This one-day, intensive and interactive educational course offers a curriculum that will provide an introduction to the application of PCOR research specific to the pharma/biotech industry. It will provide attendees with the opportunity to make informed decisions and advance their career with fundamental knowledge of the pharma/biotech industry. Case studies will engage participants and give them a chance to test their new knowledge.
