Hilton Meadowvale/Mississauga
Who Should Attend? Professionals in Market Access, Pharmaceutical Policy, Marketing and Sales who are interested in learning more about Market Access as well as pharmaceutical industry professionals who work with Market Access.
We will explore the market access decision-making pathway for pharmaceuticals from Health Canada approval through reimbursement in private and public drug plans. Attendees will gain insights into the various steps and the inter-relationships between each milestone of pharmaceutical market access. The sessions will also address the interests and involvement of various perspectives and stakeholders, including public payers, private payers, health technology assessment reviewers, regulatory agencies, pricing agencies, manufacturers and patients.
We will also be focusing on networking, market access career discussions, and stakeholder communications during a lunch-hour workshop that will explore how you connect with others in the Market Access environment.
