Making FDA-Required Training Captivating: Training the Trainer
Presented by Nancy Singer, Compliance-Alliance LLC & John Avellanet, Cerulean Associates LLC Thursday, April 26, 2012; 1:00pm – 2:30pm EDT (GMT-4)
FDA requires drug and device firms to train personnel in GMPs, QSR, GCPs, advertising and promotion regulations, and fraud and abuse laws...and neglecting this responsibility carries consequences. FDA-regulated firms such as G&W Laboratories, Syntho Pharmaceuticals, Absolute Packaging and many others have been cited for training deficiencies; the resulting Warning Letters are posted on FDA’s website for competitors, Wall Street, the press and the public to read.
Despite FDA's interest in training, today's economic climate means firms are slashing budgets for initial and ongoing education. You may very well find yourself adding a critical new task to your already long list of responsibilities...becoming an effective trainer for FDA compliance.
