The global health challenge of maximising drug safety yet maintaining
public confidence has become increasingly complex. This 20-week examined
course in pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance addresses the
increasing need for well-informed professionals to work in all areas
related to the assessment of drug safety and risk benefit of drug use.
It is an introductory course and should meet the needs of a wide variety
of practitioners.
The course is part-time and comprises 230 hours (approximately one day
per week on average) and is divided in 3 blocks:
· 5 - 8 November 2012
· 11 - 14 February 2013
· 8 - 11 April 2013
· Exam: 29 May 2013
The course will enable participants to understand issues surrounding
the risks and benefits of drug use in humans including the cause,
manifestations and consequences of adverse drug effects (ADEs), the
manner in which these are detected and monitored, and the related
historic and legal frameworks. It will also introduce participants to
fundamental statistical, economic and epidemiological concepts and
methods; introduce participants to important pharmacoepidemiological
concepts and methods and enable them to apply these methods to drug
issues.
Further information on the course and on how to apply can be found on
