Build a career in drug safety monitoring — one of the fastest-growing and most critical functions in the global pharmaceutical industry. Learn to protect patients and ensure regulatory compliance.
Pharmacovigilance (PV) is the science and activity of detecting, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. Every approved medicine continues to be monitored for safety after it reaches the market — and PV professionals are the people who make this happen.
From spontaneous adverse event reporting to large-scale signal detection studies, PV spans the entire post-approval lifecycle of a medicine. It is a regulatory requirement in every country, making trained PV professionals indispensable to pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and health authorities globally.
"With over 3,000 new drug approvals expected globally by 2028, the demand for pharmacovigilance professionals is growing faster than any other clinical research function."
We provide a clear, structured pathway into pharmacovigilance — covering everything from regulatory foundations to safety reporting, taught by industry professionals.
The Pharmacovigilance Training Program introduces you to the complete science of drug safety monitoring from the ground up. You will begin by understanding what pharmacovigilance is, why it exists, and how it fits within the broader clinical and post-market context of a medicine. The course covers how adverse events are identified, classified, and reported — both at the individual case level and across large patient populations. You will learn the key international regulatory guidelines that govern PV activities, including the ICH E2A, E2E, and GVP modules. The curriculum also introduces MedDRA coding, which is used to classify adverse events in standardised medical terminology. Signal detection, risk management, and periodic safety reporting are covered to give you a complete picture of what PV professionals do. By the end of the program, you will have the foundational knowledge to begin a career in drug safety at a pharmaceutical company, CRO, or regulatory authority.
This program is designed for life science graduates and professionals who want to build a career in drug safety and pharmacovigilance.
