Economic evaluation of healthcare strategies is becoming more pervasive in our current healthcare environment, but how do we know if the analyses have been undertaken properly. This course is designed to introduce basic economic theory and methods for economic evaluation and expose healthcare managers to real life applications of these methods (e.g. for drugs, devices, surgical procedures and public health initiatives).
