Navigating Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Through the Drug Development Process

The regulations surrounding Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) can often seem daunting and challenging. However, with the proper training and knowing where to look amongst the FDA regulations and other important resources, you can become an informed and knowledgeable regulator that can tackle CMC issues. Through a series of recorded sessions, this On-Demand Training Course has been assembled for the beginner in CMC as well as the intermediate professional who is looking for a refresher course in several facets of CMC. This course will allow you to apply several of the principals learned to real-life situations and to arm yourself with the tools to write and/or assemble CMC sections of regulatory submissions (INDs, NDAs, DMFs, ANDAs, etc.), prepare for and orchestrate CMC meetings with the FDA, and provide a clear understanding on how to avoid non-compliance evidence.

This on-demand training course takes an average of 10.75 hours to complete. Learners have access to the course for one year from the date of purchase.
