Good places to research for healthcare groups?

Title, applying because I genuinely am interested in pharma/healthcare/medical innovation. I know some stuff here and there, but less so about specific companies. People working in these groups, are there any resources/new sources/etc that you like to read to stay up to date?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some excellent resources to research healthcare groups and stay updated on the industry:

  1. News and Reports:

    • FiercePharma
    • FierceBiotech
    • Fierce MedTech
    • BioSpace
    • WSJ Health
    • Medscape
    • Axios Vitals
    • Bain's Global Healthcare Private Equity and Corporate M&A reports
    • Paul Keckley's weekly report (great for political analysis and government insights)
  2. Medical Device Industry:

    • MassDevice
    • Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA)
  3. Books:

    • The Pharmagellan Guide to Biotech Forecasting and Valuation
    • Biotechnology Valuation by Karl Kleegan (focus on Chapters 3 and 4 for drug development and disease modeling)
  4. Additional Tips:

    • Follow Twitter accounts of key organizations like MDMA for quick updates.
    • Evaluate Pharma (paid source) is highly detailed but not necessary if you're just starting out.

These resources will help you understand the market, company valuations, and the impact of clinical trials and regulations on the industry.
