The FDA Boot Camp, hosted by American Conference Institute, is designed to give products or patent litigators, patent prosecutors, industry in-house counsel and life sciences investment and securities experts with a strong working knowledge of core FDA competencies. Over the course of two days, a distinguished faculty of top FDA regulatory experts — including Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney's Linda Pissott Reig — will share their knowledge and give you critical insights on approval processes for drugs, biologics and devices; clinical trials; classification and labeling; the role of Hatch-Waxman in patenting; monitoring and signal detection; and recalls, product withdrawals and FDA oversight authority.
