Webinar highlights – Career Opportunities in Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance

The webinar on career opportunities in Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance offers an overview of the Work-flow and career roles one would play as a professional in the same. Let’s have a look at the pointers covered.

1. Knowing the Work – flow states and Career Paths 

Understanding and being aware of how a case gets processed right from book-in, triage to getting processed, reviewed, analysed is helpful in understanding the diverse roles one plays in the entire entourage.The webinar offers a brief insight on the journey of an individual case and also describes the role of a Drug Safety Associate (as many would start as if they are entering in this field), a role of Drug Safety Physician (for candidates with prior medical or dental degree), a role of a Medical reviewer, Senior Manager and other senior profiles like Safety Lead, Clinical Safety Scientist or a Medical Director based on their skills and expertise in the area. The roles and responsibilities in Risk Management is elucidated as well.

2. How the topics are covered in the Modules 

Narration being the strong suit of our teachers; it’s been adapted as the method of coaching the students attending the course on Advanced Drug Safety. The modules are taught along with the surplus content which can be viewed and studied in their own time as well . The students are taught and trained simultaneously and encouraged to ask questions and refer previous topics to correlate with the ongoing modules. The relevant topics are covered with practical “how to implement” steps. The content is narrated in a way that students remember the material with examples. They are able to instantly understand the real-life scenario of ICSRs, safety cases from clinical trials and more.

3. Problems Vs Solutions

The problems faced by those venturing in the field of Drug Safety or by those trying to switch to a better job is the lack of Job Placement Assistance. There’s so much information out there that it’s difficult to segregate it as relevant or irrelevant, or needed or redundant. Adding to the sourness is the unavoidable high expense of these courses which may or maynot assist you for the job you are looking for. The team at MediPharm solutions in the webinar reflects on these points with contrasting solutions of aiding the student with all three – Job Placements, Affordability criteria of the course and Learning/Practicing what is essential for being efficient.
