Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was Intern - International Pricing and Market Access and in this role i carried out analogue research to gain insights drivers into drivers of Health Technology Assessments for different drugs based on their clinical trial design and other characteristics.
My work covered major markets in Europe, especially France and Germany and the aim was to derive insights into what kind of recommendation our new drug might get and what kind of approach can further improve our chance at a better outcome in these markets
