The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
February 2, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
Biotechnology companies can spend millions of dollars developing experimental treatments and products, money basically thrown out the window if not in compliance with FDA rules. New FDA guidelines, regulations and interpretations emerge constantly from the agency that controls almost a third of the US economy. Keeping up with these changes is a constant challenge. Join CfPA each quarter for the latest FDA guidelines focused on the biologics/biotechnology industry– 90 minutes with an expert who can help you assimilate the information and answer your questions.

This course is designed for professionals primarily in the biologics/biotechnology industry. However, interested parties in the pharmaceutical and medical device fields will also benefit from this update. It will be especially beneficial to:

  • Regulatory/QA Managers 
  • Directors and VPs 
  • Planning Executives anticipating FDA changes

Description
This quarter's briefing is a careful distillation identifying the three most important new initiatives, regulatory changes and innovations from the FDA, and places them in context for the biological and biotechnology professional. This 90-minuteaccredited online training is divided into three sections, each section devoted to a new FDA regulation or initiative. The topics for this quarter are:

Module 1: H1N1 Vaccine
  • Approval Process
  • Distribution Plan
  • Clinical Testing Problems

Module 2: Xenotransplantation
  • New Guidelines
  • Increasing Commonality: Valves
