Follow the Money: Hidden costs in profit-driven healthcare, an Eric Eichler ’57 Foundations in Medicine & Humanities Seminar Series

At the end of the day, someone has to pay for it. Bringing a medication to market is a multi-step process. A gross simplification would include the following steps: a drug needs to be created, trialed, studied, approved, priced, added to a list that is covered by insurance, manufactured to scale, distributed, prescribed, and then purchased by a patient. In this seminar, we will “follow the money” to gain a deeper understanding of where the bulk of the expenses in this process are incurred that result in the aggregate cost of care.

Join recent Dartmouth ’21 graduate and Eichler ’57 Fellow, Katy Axel as she takes us on a detailed tour of this process and highlights where the unregulated pricing exists that drives the cost endured by patients and families. Katy has been working as a data and business development analyst for TruDataRx and will be joined by founder and chairman of the company, Gregg Fairbrothers.
