Hepatitis C Case Analysis

Decent Essays
I believe that I can benefit your organization specifically because I have sales, customer service, and purchasing experience. I am also very passionate about the Pharmaceutical Industry in general. I am familiar with Merck’s current product portfolio and upcoming pipeline from the background research that I have conducted prior to applying for this position. I am specifically interested with Merck’s entry into the Hepatitis C market. Zepatier will bring competition within the market due to the fact Merck has a larger market capitalization when compared to Gilead Sciences and Abbvie who are the two current market leaders in this category. Competition is a great driver in the business world and I believe that competition will lead to new innovations

    During my internship at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center (STC), I gained more confidence in my decision in eventually pursuing a career in health care, either through being a researcher or a physician. I first started my internship at the University of Maryland STC in my senior year of high school as a requirement for my magnet program. The internship was a volunteer position but we performed basic tasks such as stocking each bay with supplies and saline solution, retrieving blood from the blood bank when needed, and providing blankets and socks for incoming patients.

    A study by Dr. Eric Chak in 2011 suggested that NHANEs data on HCV prevalence leaves out a large number of those who are predominately affected by HCV, those are the excluded groups of incarcerated, homeless, nursing home residing, deployed, and hospitalized peoples. While NHANES data usually contains PWID or the drug users targeted by our study, the NHANES survey underestimates the number of people living with HCV because it excludes these groups. So state VHPCs were asked to apply these findings and provide the adjustments for excluded groups for each of their states in comparison to the NHANES survey. Not including Kentucky, 102 million people with HCV were not included in the NHANES data for this region and on average 255.2 people were…
