Course description
This course is taught using a combination of methods including lecture presentations, interactive tutorials, assignments & group oral presentations. Each of these methods will be assessed individually & count towards final grading in the course. The course will expand on concepts learnt in Health Economics and Evaluation & will explore some of the more advanced methodological issues inherent in economic evaluation of health care interventions. The course will focus on practical application with particular attention devoted to the usefulness & limitations of cost-effectiveness analysis as a technique of economic appraisal. This course may not be offered if the enrolment is less than 10 students.
