Why Market Access

Where Science, Healthcare and Business Meet

Market Access sits at the intersection of medicine, healthcare systems, economics, strategy and business. It asks some of the most important questions in healthcare.

Who are the patients?
Where are they being lost in the healthcare system?
Who makes the funding decisions?
How is value assessed?
What evidence is required?
How should an innovative medicine be positioned?
What needs to happen for the right patient to actually gain access to it?

For ambitious pharmaceutical professionals, understanding these questions can open an entirely different perspective on the industry.

What MEAXS develops

Market Access is more than reimbursement.

A strong Market Access professional connects many disciplines. Select any capability to see what it depends on.

The objective is not to memorize Market Access terminology. It is to learn how the pieces connect.

Program details

The learning philosophy

Not a course you watch. A capability you build.

MEAXS programs are designed as structured learning journeys, not collections of recorded lectures.

Participants learn through live teaching, discussion, pharmaceutical cases, problem solving, exercises, assignments, feedback and assessment.

Depending on the program, learning may be delivered face-to-face, virtually, or in a blended format. Programs extend over several weeks, and advanced journeys may continue for several months.

Live teaching 01
Pharmaceutical cases 02
Exercises & assignments 03
Feedback 04
