Regulatory science and monitoring medicine use

This unit guides you through the paradigm in which approved medicines are monitored and regulated in their wider clinical use. In the unit, you will build a foundation understanding of pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, and the safe use of medicines through the lens of evidence-based practice. You will explore the frameworks used to evaluate medicine use and cost-effectiveness to inform policy and funding decisions, as well as drive clinical decision making. Upon completing this unit, you will have a comprehensive view of the issues surrounding the effective use of medicines in the broader population, and how to address these global issues from a practical perspective.
