Objectives of the Course

This course is designed to improve knowledge and understanding of the requirements of GLP regulations. To make the GLP regulations applied in an efffective way and to assess the current conditon of GLP is among the objectives of this course.

Course Content

This course focuses on the requirements of the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations imposed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These regulations will be compared and contrasted to international rules for GLP studies (predominantly OECD regulations). This interactive presentation encompasses facility and equipment requirements, documentation requirements, roles and responsibilities, plus outsourcing relationships. Practical real world examples are used to emphasize key aspects of the regulations.
