Live Drug Pricing, Policy, and Utilization Immersion

We offer two options: open enrollment courses for individuals and customized in-house courses tailored to teams.

Our open enrollment courses are held in partnership with our affiliates, including the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), Biocom, California Life Sciences (CLS), Life Science Washington (LSWA), Life Science British Columbia (LSBC), Life Science Pennsylvania (LSPA), and BIO North Texas (BioNTX). They are scheduled periodically throughout the year and listed on this page.

Our customized in-house training can be delivered live onsite or live online. Email us at training@biotechprimer.com and request a call to discuss your training needs and pricing.

Our instructors are dynamic, industry-experienced experts. This is what sets us apart from other training organizations: our instructors! Anyone can “learn the presentation,” but our instructors can handle your most difficult questions and engage you with their personal war stories. Learn from the best! Click here to read their bios.

Yes! Every live session includes a comprehensive workbook featuring all the presented slides, interactive activities, and relevant blog entries. Depending on the course, it may also include a glossary of terms or an acronym list to support your learning.

Yes! After completing any Biotech Primer program, you’ll receive a validated certificate to recognize your achievement. You can easily upload it to your LinkedIn Licenses & Certification profile by clicking the button on your Biotech Primer dashboard. It’s a great way to highlight your life science expertise and stand out in your professional network!

We have a diverse audience in terms of experience, education, and job descriptions. Attendees range from C-level executives to manufacturing shift workers, as well as those new to the life sciences industry and seasoned veterans who may be in a different position or with a new company. This mix of backgrounds enriches our live sessions, as everyone has something to contribute to and learn from the group.

Our open enrollments do sell out, so we recommend signing up early if you want to attend. While we make every effort to hold all scheduled open enrollments, some may occasionally be canceled due to low enrollment. Before booking any travel, please contact us to confirm the program status. Please note that Biotech Primer is not responsible for any travel-related expenses in the event of cancellation.

We recommend dressing in layers, as room temperatures can vary and may be cooler than expected. You’re welcome to bring a laptop to follow along with the electronic workbook, though it’s not required. Many participants also bring a notebook and pen for jotting down notes—whatever helps you feel most comfortable and prepared!

Refunds are not available for open enrollments. If you are unable to attend, you may access the recorded version or designate a colleague from your organization to participate in your place. To transfer your registration, please email support@biotechprimer.com with the name and date of the course, the person who will no longer be attending, and their replacement so that we can update our records accordingly.

From time to time, Biotech Primer will deliver a live open enrollment in partnership with Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), Biocom, California Life Sciences (CLS), Life Science Washington (LSWA), Life Science British Columbia (LSBC), Life Science Pennsylvania (LSPA), and BIO North Texas (BioNTX). Early bird registration and/or member discounts may apply. Contact your membership organization to receive your coupon code. This discount cannot be combined with any other offers.

Biotech Primer in-house training offers a customized solution for organizations and teams looking to address their unique educational needs or overcome specific challenges. By tailoring the training to your team’s particular needs and availability, we provide a comprehensive, practical, and engaging learning experience.

Our ideal number of participants is 25. There is no minimum number of participants; the maximum number is 35.

We provide a customized electronic workbook specific to each in-house program. The workbook includes all the presented slides, relevant articles from our blog, The Primer, and any accompanying activities or case studies that may be used. Some workbooks include a glossary of biotech terms, and others include a list of commonly used acronyms.

We come to you! Save time and money by having us travel to your facility, rather than having your employees travel to us.

For the best learning experience, we recommend a classroom-style setup with tables and chairs facing the screen. AV needs include a screen and an LCD projector. If the room is large, a lapel microphone is helpful. It’s also great to have either a whiteboard or a flip chart with markers and a table at the front of the room for the instructor’s materials.

We provide in-house training worldwide. Over the years, we have taught in England, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and India.

Absolutely! We have expertise in many areas beyond what’s shown on our website. Feel free to contact us at training@biotechprimer.com to arrange a call to discuss your specific needs. If it’s not something we cover, there’s a good chance we can point you to another trusted organization or trainer who does. Let’s talk!

Yes, we do! Our training sessions can range from two hours to five full days, depending on the depth and scope of the content. We’re happy to tailor the format to fit your team’s needs.

We prefer a minimum of eight weeks’ advanced notice. Occasionally, we can deliver it within two weeks, depending on instructor availability and the level of customization required.

Training for up to 25 people in the US costs between $11,000 and $12,000 per day. Pricing depends on the subject, location, number of participants, and the extent of customization required. A 10% discount is offered to clients who book three or more of the same in-house courses within a one-year period.

We are eager to help you find a plan that meets your specific needs. Feel free to email us at training@biotechprimer.com, and we will promptly respond with the information you require. In the meantime, check out our course catalog.
