Hi! I am an undergraduate and aspire to enter the field of Health Economics. From what I understand, most Health Economist hold minimally a Masters in Health Economics. For my undergraduate degree, I did a second major in Health Economics and Management and have some exposure to the discipline. In my country, there isn't a university which offers a Masters in Health Economics. However, one of the universities have recently started a programme offering a Graduate Certificate in Health Economic Evaluation due to the growing demand and need for Health Economics skills. The aim of the programme s ..read more

Hey good people, I graduated with a masters in health economics in 2020 but didn't get into the field afterwards. Now, I am struggling to find employers who will/are willing to employ graduates with little to no experience.

Hi, I’m hoping for some advice or reflections from this community, thanking you in advance! I’m based in the UK and I have a masters in health economics. I quickly went down the public sector route as more of a generalist economist with a health economics background.

Hi all! I am about 3 months away from graduating from UNC Chapel Hill with a BS in Economics and a BA in Medical Anthropology. For general reference I have a fairly high GPA and I have done a couple of undergrad research positions in the social sciences, but none specifically in Econ. This year I was admitted into the Honors thesis program (which accepts about 15 students out of the approximately 300-person major) and have been conducting my own research in applied micro. For the first few years of undergrad, I had my sights set on moving into Public Health for a Master's degree and was gener ..read more

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Economics in December 2023. Took a while, but I found a position at a very large health firm in the Northeast. My job title is "Business Assistant" for a department related to staffing and some data. If I were to stick with this firm and go back to college for a masters in health economics, would it be possible to move up internally to something that relates to health econ? submitted by /u/No-Cut-3517 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
