Mission
Our organization is open to all graduate students. The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) promotes the science of pharmacoeconomics (health economics) and outcomes research (the scientific discipline that evaluates the effect of health care interventions on patient well-being including clinical, economic, and patient-centered outcomes) and facilitates the translation of this research into useful information for healthcare decision-makers to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and fairness of health care to improve health. ISPOR-SC@UCSF will provide an environment where students can share knowledge in pharmacoeconomics and health outcomes research. Also, we will serve as a bridge in bringing together students interested in pharmacoeconomics and members of the pharmaceutical industry, health-related organizations, and academia. Thus, we will act as a resource for new students interested in pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research. Lastly, we will provide an opportunity for student chapter members to become familiar with the affairs of ISPOR as well as have representation in its affairs.
