Training overview
Recently, some of the most common critical findings in regulatory pharmacovigilance inspections are being given for signal detection and management, so the need to identify potential signals and risks in patients has increasing importance. The protection of patients through robust and clear methodologies for signal detection amidst the ever-increasing regulations requires companies to have trained and competent staff to perform such activities. This course will provide a detailed overview of all aspects of safety reviews and signal detection within a company and will cover signal evaluation for both innovator and generic products as required by regulations.
