PV TRAINING MATERIAL


At SJ Pharma Consulting, LLC in Mendham, NJ, we provide a course that covers all the essential components of drug safety and pharmacovigilance. These components include regulatory requirements, adverse event reporting, signaling, and risk management.

Furthermore, our course tackles the pharmacovigilance audit and has exercises in signaling and data mining. It explains the regulatory requirements of global government agencies that monitor drug safety.

With the diminished pipeline of drugs in development, keeping products on the market without interruptions becomes more crucial. Successfully navigating drug safety and pharmacovigilance is the key to regulatory compliance, consumer confidence, and product longevity.

Our course offers regulatory references, processes, best practices, and analysis and investigation techniques. These can help learners in minimizing risks, avoiding product recalls, and meeting international safety and reporting standards.
