Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Do you want to build a solid foundation in pharmacovigilance and understand how medicines are monitored for safety throughout their lifecycle?
This course gives you a complete and engaging introduction to the world of drug safety — from historical disasters that shaped modern regulatory systems to today’s use of AI in case processing.
You’ll learn how global authorities like the FDA, EMA, and WHO monitor drug safety, how pharmaceutical companies maintain pharmacovigilance systems in real time, and how healthcare professionals and patients contribute to signal detection. Through clear explanations, case studies (including Vioxx, thalidomide, SGLT2 inhibitors, and fluoroquinolones), and practical examples, you will gain a deep understanding of signal detection, benefit–risk assessment, and risk minimisation.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, student, PV beginner, or simply considering a career in the pharmaceutical industry, this course will equip you with industry-relevant knowledge and terminology. It is designed to be beginner-friendly but insightful enough to bring real value to professionals.
By the end of the course, you will be able to explain the major principles of pharmacovigilance, describe the stakeholders involved, interpret real-world case studies, and understand how future trends such as AI and automation are already reshaping the PV landscape.
No prior experience is required — just curiosity and willingness to learn.
Who this course is for:
- This course is designed for healthcare professionals, pharmacy and life-science students, PV beginners, and anyone interested in entering the pharmaceutical or drug safety field.
