Understanding FDA's Part 11 Regulation
This class will define FDA’s 21 CFR 11 regulation, review the requirements for electronic systems and signatures and examine how Part 11 applies to electronic records in clinical research at the university.
Study Start-Up Workshop
Too little preparation for complex studies is a recipe for non-compliance. This 3.5-hour workshop will provide attendees with information and tools to be prepared prior to enrolling the first subject. Putting efforts towards the start-up phase of studies can save time and frustration, leaving you with the wonderful feeling of “being prepared.” This workshop uses a “real” protocol and attendees will work in groups to exchange ideas and create processes for a smooth study start-up.
Corrective Action/Preventive Action Plan – Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to achieve a better understanding of how to create corrective and preventive actions, in response to identified non-compliance issues. Attendees will learn about methods and approaches to make sure that problems are adequately corrected, and then prevented. Problem definition, root causes analysis and the creation of meaningful actions to correct and prevent non-compliance will be discussed by using real-life examples.
