Here is a sample of our In-house Courses


In-house Workshops

Inspection Readiness Interactive In-house Workshop

This "course" is an interactive workshop. The objective is to prepare the attendees for an FDA/government inspection. The attendees all participate in a mock inspection and using in-house investigator files,(or study database for Data Management participants, or regulatory files for Regulatory folks), determine how to answer the inspector's questions. It is not a typical sit and listen course. The attendees will have to work together with the files to find their answers that will be discussed on Day 2. The mock inspection will follow the FDA Sponsor Inspection Program. Participants will learn by being placed in a role of responding to the inspector. Of course, learning by doing means that it will be very interactive with lots of opportunity to ask questions and to "try out" responses.

Overview of the Inspection Readiness In-house Workshop

The objective of this course is to prepare project team members for FDA inspection at the sponsor facility. The course uses actual questions and requests for information that FDA uses during their inspections. Attendees are expected to obtain the information from their project files during the workshop period and return to the class prepared for the inspector's questions. This exercise allows the attendees to identify gaps in record keeping while the study is ongoing so that the gaps can be closed before the study is closed. It allows the attendees the opportunity to become familiar with the FDA's process of reviewing documents at the sponsor and gives the opportunity to role-play answers to FDA questions.

The attendees should be anyone who may have to participate in a sponsor inspection including CRAs, GCP Auditors, Project Leaders, Clinical Managers, Medical Monitors, Pharmacovigilance personnel, and managers in Data Management. Attendees will group by project team to prepare responses and determine who on the team will be the spokesperson for each aspect of inspection.

If regional CRAs attend, they should bring a copy of a monitoring file for their project, as they will be required to review monitoring reports as one of the workshop activities. In addition, they should identify an individual back in their regional office who can retrieve other information that they may need to answer the inspector's questions.

It would be helpful for regional personnel to review the FDA Compliance Program CP7348.810 Part III, Sponsors, Monitors, CROs. http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/bimo/7348_810/default.htm in advance. This program details all of the documents that FDA will request during inspection. It is not suggested that attendees bring all of these documents. During the workshop, we are trying to simulate a real inspection and we want to identify areas which would need more response time so that during a real inspection, the company will know which items cannot be retrieved immediately for the inspector.*

*It is expected that attendee will not have all requested documents available during the course and this is part of the process to be learned.
