PDA 211.3 Quality and Compliance Management for Virtual Companies

24 Mar - 25 Mar 2024
Long Beach, CA

Become a Sponsor and/or Exhibitor

Many biotech companies and some pharma companies today are small, “virtual” organizations that outsource most GxP-governed activities such as clinical trials, manufacturing, packaging, laboratory testing, and drug safety monitoring. Such companies often lack in-house knowledge of GCP, GLP and GMP requirements, or have such knowledge vested in very few people. The prospect of an FDA inspection can be a daunting one, as can ensuring that your vendors will pass FDA scrutiny.

This training course will help you understand what you need to have in place, what the high-risk areas are, and how best to manage those risks as you grow and bring activities in-house. This training course explains the GMP, GCP and GLP responsibilities of virtual companies or others who predominately outsource GxP-governed activities.

Upon completion of this training course, the attendee will be able to:

  1. Explain GMP and GCP requirements for virtual companies
  2. Decide which elements of your quality system should be managed in-house and how
