Overview:

This is a detailed course designed to provide medical device/pharmaceutical professionals with the information they require to prepare for and manage FDA inspections. This course provides the rationale, strategies and flow on how to plan for an inspection, the inspection process and approach, and which company roles should be assigned for these types of inspections, among other related topics..

Why should you Attend: The FDA inspection is the most nerve-wracking event in the life of a regulatory professional - you're in charge of compliance, usually in the background, and NOW you're in the spotlight, and if your performance isn't good, it's not the show that may close, it's YOUR COMPANY! However, adequate planning, training, composure, and understanding should result in many encore presentations! This session will discuss how to prepare for the inspection, what to do during the inspection and the close-out interview, and how to respond to the inspection. Also contained in this session will be the limits of FDA's scope during an inspection, including what documents you are not required to show them, and the permissibility of photographs and affidavits.
