Overview
In this Economic Evaluation - Application and Policy short course at the University of Aberdeen, you’ll learn how economic evaluations are conducted and how they can be used to inform the efficient allocation of scarce health care resources.
Careers

- in-demand economic evaluation skills
- the knowledge and confidence to interpret and apply economic evaluation data
- the ability to use economic evaluation tools in your organisation to aid value-based decision making
Programme Structure
