Présentation
Objectives

The objective of this program is to enable students to acquire the knowledge and skills required to master the methods, tools, and concepts of Market Access (MA) and Health Economic Outcomes Research (HEOR) as applied to drugs and medical devices.

The curriculum covers the economic environment of healthcare products, the funding and regulation of healthcare expenditures, healthcare institutions, MA and HEOR applied to drugs and medical devices (MDs), as well as the MA of special products (vaccines, biosimilars, e-health, telemedicine, etc.).

Throughout the Master’s program, students complete their training under an apprenticeship scheme (1 week of classes / 3 weeks in the workplace), working in pharmaceutical companies, MD manufacturers, consulting firms, institutions, or hospitals. This format allows them to directly apply the knowledge acquired in class.

The identity of the program is strongly rooted in hands-on learning through numerous case studies and group projects. Over the course of the year, every student must prepare a Therapeutic Interest Note (transparency dossier) and conduct an HEOR efficiency dossier. Students also practice strategic MA, where they learn how to position their product and defend their strategy. They participate in a negotiation seminar to develop familiarity with negotiation stances and language.

Each year, the entire cohort attends the ISPOR (International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research) Congress for five days, where the latest economic developments and innovations in MA and HEOR are presented. This provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a specialized international environment and expand their professional network.

Finally, students are required to write a Master Thesis on a specific MA or HEOR issue, following the structure of a research paper (introduction, research question, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion). The preparation of scientific articles is also encouraged.

These competencies open up career opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry and across the broader healthcare sector, in departments dedicated to economic affairs.

Skills
  • Rédiger une Note d'Intérêt Thérapeutique, un avis d'efficience et une Note d'Intérêt Economique pour la HAS et le CEPS.

  • Career prospects

    Le Master prépare aux métiers de l'accès au marché que l'on peut diviser en 2 catégories : d'une part les métiers du Market Access qui correspondent à l'élaboration des dossiers de transparence et négociations de prix ou remboursement, et d'autre part, les métiers de l'HEOR qui consistent à effectuer les évaluations médico-économiques des avis d'efficience. Certains laboratoires séparent ces deux entités de métiers alors que d'autres effectuent plutôt leur segmentation en fonction de l'aire thérapeutique.
    Les débouchés après le Master MA&EME sont très variés. Ces métiers peuvent être effectués dans différents types de structures : dans les laboratoires pharmaceutiques ou chez les fabricants de DM, dans des cabinets de conseil (avec certains généralistes et certains spécialisés en MA, en HEOR, en DM…), dans des institutions (HAS, CEPS, DGOS, DSS, CNAMTS, INCa….), ou dans des hôpitaux, le tout soit en France, soit à l'étranger. Les intitulés de postes sont variés et comprennent : responsable accès au marché, spécialiste prix et remboursement, business analyst, Chargé de mission market access affaires publiques, Spécialiste modélisation Médico-Economie, consultant market-access ….
    A l'issue du Master, certaines entreprises proposent des VIE (volontariat international en entreprise) à nos étudiants à la suite de leur année de M2.Par ailleurs, les compétences en MA et HEOR enseignées dans le Master s'appliquant à d'autres systèmes de santé étrangers, certains étudiants ont trouvé des emplois à l'étranger (Allemagne, Royaume‐Uni, Ecosse) par simple candidature spontanée à l'issue du Master. Enfin, certains étudiants poursuivent leur spécialisation par la réalisation d'un Doctorat.
