About This Course
Pharmacovigilance for Drug Safety and Efficacy frames drug monitoring around the central question regulators and patients care about: does a medicine do more good than harm. You learn how adverse events are captured and assessed, how safety signals are detected, and — distinctively — how efficacy and effectiveness evidence combine with safety into an ongoing benefit-risk judgement across a product’s lifecycle. The course connects the science to real regulatory decisions. You finish able to reason about a medicine’s safety and efficacy through a pharmacovigilance lens. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
