      <dc:description>Objective: To identify the characteristics, motivations and employment implications among graduates of&#xd;
Masters programmes in health-economics (MPHE).&#xd;
Method: The most renowned MPHE in Spain were contacted to assist in this research study. Partici-&#xd;
pants submitted an online survey comprising 30 items designed specifically for the purpose. Our sample&#xd;
consisted of 439 graduates. Different statistical analysis, including a logistic model, were performed to&#xd;
describe the sample.&#xd;
Results: The main motivation for undertaking an MPHE is academic, and to acquire new or enhance pre-&#xd;
vious knowledge. The general profile of graduates is that of a woman aged 37.8 and a health professional.&#xd;
Those looking for a job in Health Economics generally found employment in the first (54.9%) or second&#xd;
year (29.7%). MPHE were very highly assessed. The most useful subject was health management (46.3%).&#xd;
Conclusions: Undertaking an MPHE is a good investment because most of the graduates believed that their&#xd;
training enabled them to find a job. The graduates showed a high degree of confidence in the usefulness&#xd;
of the training. MPHE are highly evaluated irrespective of consequent employment. The subjects in which&#xd;
the curriculum vitae of the health professionals were weaker, such as those concerning management,&#xd;
were evaluated the highest as they were assumed to enhance promotion opportunities.</dc:description>
