Outside of working at RTI, Dr. Hoerger is an avid runner and skier. He also enjoys solving jigsaw puzzles, reading novels, and watching Ted Lasso. He shared a book that everyone should read and his first job working in health economics.
The last great book I read was “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus. It features a pioneering (but disrespected) woman researcher, her precocious daughter, and the best-developed canine character in literature.
My first job in health economics was a summer internship with the American Medical Association. My girlfriend (now wife) interviewed for a full-time position there and suggested I apply for an internship. Health economics meshed well with my graduate school studies in industrial economics, and that helped start my career.
