AdresAssociate /Associate Consultant– Patient Centered Solutions
IQVIA’s Medical Evidence Practice (MEP) and Patient Centered Solutions (PCS)
Our MEP team’s mission statement is to support the expansion of patients’ access to innovative medicines by planning, generating, and disseminating high quality medical evidence. Our Patient Centered Solutions team, within this practice, delivers on strategic research that amplifies the patient’s voice in this evidence generation process. The PCS team leads the industry in the science of measuring the patient experience. We help our clients by applying our consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to design and execute scientifically rigorous research that incorporates the patient voice into the development and commercialization of new medicines. This research includes qualitative (e.g., patient interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g., clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROS), preference research) and passive (e.g., digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver and physician experiences and expectations of disease and treatment. You’ll be working on a team within PCS that is focused on the implementation of these approaches in clinical trials by working closely with a diverse group of colleagues with scientific, behavioral, linguistic, and technology experience to advance the strategic priorities of life science companies.
