As part of this program, FDA announced that OPDP is launching an e-learning CME/CE course and case studies. In announcing the program, OPDP Director Tom Abrams noted that his office wants to make sure ...

Johnson and Johnson Corporate Integrity Agreement: The Progression of Life Science Corporate Integrity Agreements
Conclusion
The industry should take note of the expanded enforcement actions CIAs permit as well as the consequences of CIA violations. After the 2012 Pharmaceutical Compliance Roundtable, attended by HHS-OIG officials and representatives of 23 pharmaceutical companies under CIAs, we reported that the government was seeking a middle ground to avoid exclusion (which can leave beneficiaries without needed drugs) but also provide sufficient consequences to deter further misconduct. Gibson Dunn's 2012 Year-End Health Care Compliance Update noted enforcement officials are imposing "increasingly harsh penalties… on compan...

Now, we are living extraordinary times and when I realized I wish I was a medical student these days, I thought I would share my reasons for that.
1) Social Media:
The networks I’ve been creating in my fields of interest on Twitter, Google+, Facebook and the blogosphere are capable of filtering the most relevant news for me; helping me crowdso...
