Dr. Dragomir is an health economist and biostatistician with master degree in statistics and doctoral degree in pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics, from University of Montreal, Canada. She has 19 years of experience in academic research. She was involved in research projects focused on evaluation of health outcomes and health economics related to different treatment strategies, adherence to treatments, health services utilization and disease modeling in several fields, such as: hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, mental health diseases, and cancers. Her current research is focused on clinical and economic evaluation of different treatments strategies offered to patients with urological cancers. She has an extended experience in conducting studies based on administrative healthcare databases, such as RAMQ and Med-Echo, and conducting economic evaluation. Her research represents a valuable tool for decision-makers and clinician leaders when evaluating the clinical and economic impacts of innovative treatments.
