Medical devices drive clinical care, whether in the form of a surgeon’s scalpel, a simple blood test, or a complex imaging machine. With the technological innovation and advances made in precision medicine, 3-D printing, and mobile medical applications, these devices are now a large part of the research landscape.
Â
As the rapid advances in technology outpace changes in regulation, FDA oversight and the regulatory requirements have become more challenging. Join us for this three-day event to get the information you need to advance your regulatory expertise.
Trainer: Tony Blank
RAPS (Regulatory Affairs Professional Society) will provide a 2-day, Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Submission Workshop specific to academic research.
