Who Should Attend?
This online training is intended for professionals in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical devices, veterinary and cosmetic industries. It will be especially valuable to those working as:

•Stabilitarians
•Quality Management, QA and QC Professionals
•Stability Stake Holders (Chambers, Labs, Facilities, etc.)

Personnel who manage these individuals would additionally benefit from this training by gaining a better understanding of the issues faced in ensuring a GMP-compliant stability program.

Course Description
A significant number of 483’s and Warning Letters related to the stability function is proof that not all companies have an adequate program in place. Since regulatory requirements and guidance’s provide only a general picture of expectations for stability programs, much interpretation is left up to individual companies. A better understanding of regulatory expectations and careful preparation is warranted to avoid joining those organizations receiving stability citations.

This 90-minute, accredited ON DEMAND online training will cover all aspects of preparing for and conducting/hosting an audit of the medical product stability function.
