Real World Evidence Strategy

Course Director: Sean Murphy, PhD

Real-world evidence (RWE) is rapidly reshaping how we evaluate the safety, risk, and economic value of medical interventions. Real World Evidence Strategy (HPEC 5015) introduces students to the principles and practices of using real-world data (EMR, claims, registries) to fill critical evidence gaps in the regulatory process. Through a mix of lectures and quantitative labs, students will gain critical competencies in: understanding methodological differences between RWE and randomized clinical trials; RWE regulatory frameworks and advanced methods; and creating professional evidence summaries for regulatory audiences.
