Phuong joined JCPH as a Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) Fellow after receiving her PharmD and MBA from Texas A&M University in 2021. After spending her first year of the Fellowship at JCPH, she will transition to United Therapeutics Corporation in her second year. In her current role, Phuong leads and assists in multiple HEOR studies such as patient-reported outcome development, qualitative data analysis of claims databases, and economic modeling. Phuong is also working on her Master’s degree in Applied Health Economics and Outcomes Research at JCPH. 

During pharmacy school, Phuong had the opportunity to work on a three-year asthma research project. That was when she discovered her interest in health economics and outcomes research. Throughout the project, she learned how to apply an engineering perspective and clinical experience to the discovery of new approaches and solutions to health issues based on outcomes research and data analysis. Through the JCPH Fellowship, Phuong hopes to continue to build on the skills and knowledge to tackle the challenges of assessing and evaluating real-world data. Phuong also looks forward to contributing to the transformation in health care and helping patients achieve optimal outcomes.
