About Us

Overall, our mission is to be a resource for pre-med and medical trainees looking for answers to the practical healthcare economics questions, and a platform for sharing healthcare economics publications and research opportunities. Our specific goals are two-fold: 1. To share basic knowledge about healthcare costs and build practical skills useful for patient care. This will involve: opportunities to gain a basic understanding of healthcare insurance, healthcare revenue cycle, charity care; going through the exercise of checking drug prices, finding costs of procedures. 2. To explore research on the applications of behavioral economics in healthcare. This will involve: discussing recent clinical trials of behavioral economics-driven interventions for improving medication adherence, physical activity, weight loss; exploring classic studies on systematic cognitive biases, discussing their impact on diagnostic thinking and clinical decisions.
