Overview

Signal detection is an essential element of the overall risk management process. This short course provides a concise review of current methods of drug safety signal detection for marketed products and the role of signal detection within the larger signal and risk management process. Emphasis is on practical pragmatic approaches. Outputs from quantitative signal detection will be the basis for a hands-on exercise and discussion. The short course also provides participants with the context to evaluate new research in the field.
