known as the Association for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (APOR) and
led by its founding Executive Director, Marilyn Dix Smith, PhD.
As the field of HEOR has grown, so has ISPOR. The Society’s membership has expanded
from just 240 members at its founding to more than 19,000 individual and chapter
