Description

Over the past few years there has been a growing expectation and increased standardization for Quality Management Systems (QMS) as it relates to clinical research in the pharma industry.  The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) E6 revision was just one example of a response to the need and demand for a more robust and documented system to ensure that procedures are established, and processes are in place to monitor compliance and analyze issues when they occur. 

This program will address the growing requirements and expectations as it relates to root cause analysis, corrective and preventative action plans and implementation, aspects of a robust quality assurance program and how quality control can minimize errors and other quality issues.  This program will support both the new and seasoned QMS manager or stakeholder to better understand the requirements, current industry trends for application and give them sample tools that can be used for quality management.

Learning Level:
