Three Educational Tracks: Regulatory, Clinical, Safety and Pharmacovigilance
Track A: Regulatory
The regulatory track provides opportunities for information sharing, use cases, and best practices relating to Canada’s regulatory landscape as it applies to regulatory requirements, new developments, and innovation for life sciences R&D.
Track B: Clinical
Today, modern pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic products are advancing at an unprecedented speed. Sessions in this track will focus on clinical research development and operations for industry.
Track C: Safety and Pharmacovigilance
Our safety and pharmacovigilance track will provide a comprehensive overview of Canada’s regulatory environment in the field of clinical safety and pharmacovigilance for pharmaceutical products and medical devices.

There is an increasing number of risk minimization programs that are implemented in Canada and elsewhere, ranging from communication to mandatory trainings and controlled distribution, amongst others. Although these programs carry enormous relevance for patients and public health, determining whether these programs are effective is methodologically challenging. Methodological and regulatory guidances are available, which must be adapted to the Canadian context.
