PDA Quality Risk Management Training Courses
The role of Quality Risk Management (QRM) is integral in supplying and maintaining quality products by evaluating manufacturing processes and understanding risks to product quality and thus patient safety. With a critical understanding of QRM, the quality of products can be built into the manufacturing processes. PDA’s Quality Risk Management Training Courses cover the integration of QRM principles, as well as effective and practical application of QRM, into pharmaceutical manufacturing systems throughout the product lifecycle.
PDA also offers the Quality Risk Management Certificate Program which delivers role-based training to help companies improve their QRM process to ultimately ensure the delivery of higher-quality, safe medications to patients. Nowhere else can you receive training on the critical aspects of the QRM process from noted industry experts intimately involved in the development and implementation of the ICH Q9 guidance and with years of experience in training and practical application of QRM principles.
