Dr. Chanhyun Park is a Health Outcomes Researcher and Assistant Professor in the Health Outcomes Division. She received her bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, South Korea. She received two master’s degrees: one in Clinical Pharmacy from Sookmyung Women’s University and one in Quantitative Methods from The University of Texas at Austin. She also earned her Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy. Upon graduation, she worked as a Health Economist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University School of Pharmacy.
Her research interests are comprised of the assessment of clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes of healthcare services and products through the application of advanced quantitative methodologies. She has a broad research framework that includes pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, health economics, meta-analysis, and machine learning.
