Reviews of IPI's Medical Device Studies: Regulatory Requirements and Adverse Event Reporting training course


As the person responsible of safety assessment and reporting in my department (clinical), I was hoping to strengthen my knowledge in this area. Especially when it comes to event assessment and classification. This course helped me achieve that goal. [Speaker] is very knowledgeable on several topics.

Understanding what requirements for RA through the cases of Medical Devices studies is very important for me to deal with Korean Medical devices. So this course make me more knowlegable about Europe's MD handling and also distinguish how to adapt on some agenda between Korean and Europe Medical Devices.

I wanted to learn more about device vigilance and reporting and I now feel much more confident in putting these tasks into practice in my workplace. Janette was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable regarding her course content considering the difficulties with the changes from MDD to MDR. I enjoyed the course and found the content to be interesting and relevant. Any questions asked were answered and all aspects of relevance to the group were covered.
