Eu2P was for me an unforgettable experience!!! I will recommend to all the people who want to have a good knowledge in Pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology. The Master programme gave me all the tools I needed for my professional life. The great thing of Eu2P is to meet people all around the world and discuss several topics related to Pharmacovigilance (signal detection, risk communication of medicines, regulations not only of the pharmaceutical drugs but also vaccines, devices in Europe, USA and Japan). Eu2P give you the chance so don’t miss it!
Eu2P is an amazing, well-designed and a “can’t miss” opportunity for those who work or would like to work in drug regulation, Pharma industry, academia, public health and other related fields. By the joining the Eu2P, I have solved lots of my doubts/challenges that I was encountering on my daily work. The e-learning platform is a class of its own; with intensive interaction and live sessions. After all, I have enjoyed the sense of the academic partnerships of the six universities with critical view from regulators, public health managers, insurers, patient representatives and so on. Eu2P is a proof for me that online PG programs can be achieved in an easier and comfortable way without compromising the quality of education and interaction. Now, confidently I am able to identify, evaluate and communicate several safety signals and assess benefits and risks of medicines. Besides, I am now involved as lead investigator in large observational cohort studies. Viva Eu2P! I am proud to be your product.
My experience at Eu2P was awesome! An absolutely very rich content with every sector experience, from the academia to industry to regulatory to healthcare providers to reimbursement to patient representative organizations to the consumer. Every perspective to a case is explored. The practical experience and case study approach makes it a real-world situation adaptable to my current professional life. This is most appreciated. The team at the Eu2P Central office are great minds and always available to assist where necessary making the programme doable with its tough content and demands. I have recommended and will definitely continue recommending Eu2P!
I couldn’t think of a better programme than Eu2P when it came to excelling in career with broader horizon and widening my knowledge of drug affairs. I envisioned the whole system with a totally new perspective and look forward to improving one in my homeland as well. The course is well designed, covering all necessary fields and timely response from most (if not all) of the mentors. Eu2P management is very cooperative and addresses its students’ issues amicably. I found some best mentors-for-life undoubtedly (especially Pr. Albert Figueras) and would like to accredit them for polishing one of my most desirable skills: Scientific Research!!
I have really enjoyed the master programme study with Eu2P on a part-time basis, which allows me to enhance both my theoretical and practical knowledge in pharmacovigilance and epidemiology fields alongside my heavy professional duty as medicine development director. The concept of studying with peers from industry practitioners, regulators and academia is a unique feature of the Eu2P program, which allows me to apply the knowledge seamlessly in my professional works. Highly recommended and appreciated.
I am delighted I came across Eu2P Program offerings. Actually when I came across it I started asking from some previous students testimonials through Linkedin search , and they told me how the program really affected their careers in a positive way, so I decided to start with the “Medicines benefit assessment” training domain and selected the “Methods in clinical research and pharmacoepidemiology and in the assessment of the efficacy of medicine D2M3” training module, as I believe it can give me a wider review of this area and can benefit my career. The training was engaging and deeply related to my work. I liked the further recommended reading topics from different literature sources and I also liked the “WIKI” part as it provided a collaboration space with colleagues and also gave me an option to study my colleagues' points of views regarding the topics studied. As I am a full-time employee it was somehow challenging to keep up with the syllabus in my free time but overall the workload was fine. I will definitely recommend training programs within the Eu2P platform and I am looking forward to my next course!
