Description - Learn our proven Norton Methods for GCP & ICH
auditing of pharmaceutical and medical device investigators from our expert approaches, skills and
techniques. This dynamic program is an intensive ‘boot camp’ to
build observational, interviewing, auditing and writing skills, legal expertise, and communication
and data techniques. This forum is led by a former award-winning FDA
Investigator and current field-based North American and International auditor
that teaches Good Clinical Practices from a regulator’s perspective to help participants
understand their roles and responsibilities as auditors and agents of the law. Participants will
gain an understanding of risk management and risk control, learn to perform proactive risk analysis
for clinical investigators, and auditing techniques for narrowing parameters for audit selections,
based on early warning signs obtained in the auditing process, to proactively address compliance
issues. Learn the Norton Method for Systems-Based Auditing that identifies the true root
causes of noncompliance, and not to simply rely on audit checklists.
