If a medically licensed professional has approximately 8 years experience in Class IIb and Class III post-market medical device vigilance/surveillance and regulatory reporting for US, EU, CA, AU and NZ As well as 3 years experience in a pharmaceutical contact center recognizing, documenting and escalating product complaints and SAEs to drug safety, how likely is it that the individual would be a successful candidate in the pharmacovigilance arena? Would the individual need specialized training prior to working in Pharmacovigilance or would a candidate with experience leading and managing an MD post-market/complaint handling department have the understanding of concepts and principles that would be easily transferable to pharmacovigilance?
