Applying the GMPs (G03)
Overview
The interactive course uses extensive exercises to provide an intense examination and interpretation of the cGMP regulations with special emphasis on applying the "right dose" of GMP to various situations to assure that methods, facilities, and controls are used for the manufacture processing, packing, or holding of drug products to meet requirements for safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity. The regulation will be divided into six elements: materials, buildings, equipment, records, procedures, and people.
Note: We recommend attendees have a least two years of experience with the cGMPs to attend this course.
