Self-learning course “Health technology assessment (HTA) and economic evaluations”

To improve the awareness and understanding of health economic related topics, this self-learning HTA course offers several pre-recorded video lectures, which provide a comprehensive overview of various topics in the HTA field.

Thereby, the course will mainly focus on economic evaluations and their methods used to assess the cost-effectiveness of an intervention. Next to the pre-recorded video lectures, the course also entails practical examples, further reading tips and small exercises to test the understanding of the topics.
