Bio

Tyler Wagner completed his Ph.D. in pharmacoeconomics and health outcomes in August 2023, focusing on the crucial role of pharmacists within primary care teams. 

His study examined pharmacists impact on diabetes quality measure achievement and demonstrated a significant higher proportion of primary care patients meeting diabetes control quality measures compared to patients receiving standard of care.

Now, as associate director of research for the National Pharmaceutical Council, he conducts research on drug pricing, cell and gene therapies, health equity, value assessment and real world evidence.
