About this webinar series
Pharmacoepidemiology is a key discipline for understanding the safety of medicines, which has made important contributions to our understanding of drug safety. It is also being increasingly recognised as a practical tool for supporting risk management and planning safety activities at the time medicines are authorised. Expertise in pharmacoepidemiology is now a must for any research-based pharmaceutical company.
This series of webinars is aimed at introducing you to the basic concepts of pharmacoepidemiology, with some topical COVID-19 examples.
