FDA Compliance Boot Camp 2013 Validation, Quality and Compliance Training
Product Details
Imagine getting inside the head of a working FDA inspector ... receiving the same training the inspector gets ... knowing which problems face the most scrutiny ... all before your next inspection.
Here's how.
Are you confident you'll sail through your next inspection? You can be when you have the same training the FDA gives its own inspectors.
Know what to expect when the next inspector walks through your door -- from what the agency trains its investigators to look for ... to which problems face the most scrutiny, including how FDA expects you to manage your computerized systems and electronic records.
You'll even discover which of your systems will be first-up for inspection. And you'll learn what's behind FDA's new add-on "surveillance inspections" for Part 11 and how the European Union's new Annex 11 affects your operations, no matter where they are.
Former FDA Investigators Ready to Give You "Insider Advice"
Why risk a single noncompliance penalty? When you attend FDA Compliance Boot Camp 2013 you can feel secure in knowing your next inspection will be a complete success ... And it takes less than a week.
Experience a simulated inspection, pick up effective self-auditing techniques and so much more.

Course #1 — FDA Auditing of Computerized Systems and Part 11/Annex 11 (24 Course Hours) The FDA is facing a looming crisis of public confidence in two areas directly impacted by computer systems validation — data integrity, especially in clinical and manufacturing environments, supplier quality assurance and audit trails and change control in virtual computing environments.
Enroll your team in the FDA Compliance Boot Camp to ensure your company and its contractors and suppliers aren't in the cross hairs of the FDA's stepped-up enforcement in these areas.
You'll learn:

Course #2 — Quality Risk Management for FDA/ICHQ9 Compliance: Agency Expectations, Global Standards and Tools for Success (12 Course Hours)
Risk management is the bedrock of FDA regulation in the 21st Century.
But ask 10 companies how they define risk, and you're likely get 10 different answers. How can you and your team master something as elusive but vital as risk management? Begin by attending this 12-hour training class and learn FDA's approach to assessing and managing risk. You'll also study tools and methodologies used by regulated companies around the world.
Companies that ignore the heightened public and legal demand for cradle-to-grave product risk management imperil their shareholders and their public reputation.
Enroll your team in Quality Risk Management for FDA/ICHQ9 Compliance to train your key staff on the biggest compliance pitfalls facing companies today.
You'll learn:

Course #3 — The CAPA Confidence Clinic: FDA Rules for CAPA Systems, Failure Investigations and Complaint Management (12 Course Hours)
If your current CAPA system is disorganized, poorly documented, or not supported by thorough failure investigations, you're waving a red-flag to FDA inspectors and third-party auditors. Get your quality program back on track by building a robust CAPA system that meets FDA's latest expectations.
