MCPHS in collaboration with Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease is offering fellowship experience within Global Value, Access, and Pricing (GVAP) with an enriched Health Economics & Outcomes research (HEOR) experience.

Astrazeneca’s Rare Disease GVAP team is seeking a fellow to be part of a dynamic and growing team working in the metabolic portfolio. This is a strategic role leveraging your understanding and application of global healthcare, HTA system knowledge, competitive insights, and clinical background to shape market access, pricing and reimbursement success for critical product launches and indications.

This fellowship provides a unique opportunity to develop an expertise in the cross-section of GVAP & HEOR. Global market access and health economics are complimentary functions with HTA/payers as the core stakeholder and this fellowship is designed to combine the strategic components of HEOR and apply them to real-world global market access problems. As a fellow you will learn to lead the development and execution of value, access, and price strategies for launch assets to support patient access to our medicines. As key parts of the development team, we help shape the clinical development program, develop value propositions that help inform evidence generation activities, and establish pricing recommendations for products in our portfolio.

Value, Access, and Pricing Focused Objectives:

• Support development of differentiated target product profile that fulfills cross stakeholder needs aligned to robust value proposition
• Develop global pricing and reimbursement (P&R) strategies and framework in close collaboration with launch and program teams
• Creation and roll out of value, and access communication tools and materials to support local P&R submissions and negotiations
• Cultivate understanding of global health care, HTA systems, and latest developing trends especially within rare disease

Health Economics and Outcomes Research Focused Objectives:

• Comprehensive understanding of what evidence payers value across market/payer archetypes
• Fundamentals of economic modeling bridging to appreciation of level of evidence needed from payer perspective
• Influencing trial design, outcomes, and endpoint strategy to support payer needs
• Exposure to different methodologies to quantify and fill evidence gaps including burden of disease & unmet need
