The primary avenue for which FDA judges a company’s conformance to cGMPs and ultimately the approval of regulatory submissions is through their review of documentation. The success or failure of an FDA-regulated company often comes down to the quality of these documents. While most professionals have spent years learning and mastering their technical expertise, mastering quality writing is rarely a part of this development.
Writing for Compliance® is a breakthrough workshop training that is FDA-regulated industry’s first and only formal training program devoted to improving FDA and regulatory inspection outcomes through improving writing skills within regulated companies.
