Healthcare Finance
MIT Sloan's 15.482x applies financial engineering to the biomedical and healthcare industries. The course covers portfolio theory, securitization, and option pricing, then shows how these tools can be used to structure funding for drug development, reduce financial risk, and lower the cost of capital so therapies reach patients faster. Materials are hosted on MIT's Open Learning Library and include lecture content, problem sets, and assessments that can be worked through at your own pace. All course materials are free to view and use, whether or not you create an account, and enrolling only adds progress tracking. The course assumes some background in finance and is aimed at students who want to understand how capital markets intersect with biomedical research and healthcare delivery.
