Carolyn Saba-Abaniel joined JCPH as a Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) fellow after receiving her Doctor of Pharmacy from Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) School of Pharmacy in Claremont, California in 2022. For this two-year fellowship, Carolyn will spent the first year in JCPH before moving to Teva Pharmaceuticals which is her sponsor company. Carolyn will partake and lead outcomes research projects and present posters in professional conferences alongside JCPH faculty, whilst completing a Masters degree in Applied Health Economics & Outcomes Research. Carolyn’s major research interest involves studying trends in healthcare expenditures within varying disease states and identifying associations between spending and outcomes.

Prior to joining Jefferson, Carolyn worked as an intern pharmacist in the Solid Organ Transplant Department of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA and held various CMC roles within the industry during school. She participated in AMCP Local P&T Competition in 2020 and finished an HEOR APPE experience at Becton and Dickinson (BD) which piqued her interest into the HEOR field. Through the JCPH Fellowship, Carolyn aspires to build a strong foundation of knowledge and experience of HEOR and ultimately make a valuable contribution to delivering life-changing therapies to patients.
