The Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance Certificate Program is designed to develop specialized knowledge and skills required to; write study protocols, monitor and manage clinical trials, and to conduct drug safety and pharmacovigilance activities. This hands-on training approach includes drafting adverse reaction reports and preparing periodic safety update reports.

The program focuses on topics delivered through five modules:

1. Introduction to Pharmacovigilance Activities and Pharmacoepidemiological Studies
2. Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical Safety Assessment
3. Legislations, Ethics and Good Pharmacovigilance Practiaces (GVP)
4. Drug Lifecycle Safety Management and Pharmacovigilance Compliance
5. GCP and GVP Inspections and Audits

A well-trained and knowledgeable Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance professional plays a vital role in protecting the study participant and the general population for marketed drugs and in helping to reduce the time between drug development and marketing approval.
