Job prospects for health economists
Submitted by THE HEALTH ECONOMICS BLOG
Over the last couple of weeks I have received quite a few of inquiries about the job prospects in health economics, the type of training required and of course also about the earnings potential both from US and European young professionals / students who came across my blog and therefore I thought that warrants a separate post on the blog. Needless to say that I am very delighted that the readership is growing rapidly and that people find the information useful - especially professionals becoming interested in this field. Indeed the area is expanding rapidly due to health policy developments across the globe. I found an interesting career information sheet from Australia but I think the comments made on job prospects etc. are valid for any geography, which I would like to share with the readers. In terms of questions related to earnings potential, last year I cited a very good and detailed article on US health economists salaries (search the blog and put “earnings”). What is missing is the same concise information on EU salary ranges per country. I wonder if there is a way to get some information – maybe some of the recruiters reading my blog would like to share some thoughts - on bands per level in order to guide young professionals on the compensation front in their career choice and potential moves. I know ISPOR is very active on the students chapter but perhaps here also some more career info could be provided going forward. In any case, I am happy to continue to answer questions or chat about the field in general as time allows… best Ulf
