Pharmacovisilance Training
This course covers a variety of important aspects of the career, including reporting, report writing, signal detection and risk management, as well as providing a thorough understanding of the regulatory bodies around the world. For anyone looking to find a job in pharmacovigilance or drug safety, previous experience in the industry is of great value. Alternatively, a clinical background and first-hand experience with adverse reactions can be advantageous so nurses and pharmacists can also be attractive candidates. A career in drug safety and pharmacovigilance will generally start with a position as a drug safety associate, officer, scientist or coordinator. Responsibilities will then progress to senior specialist or management roles, often with an in-depth knowledge of a specialty area, such as medical writing, auditing, medical affairs or quality assurance.
