Course description
Students participating in this placement will experience a real life working environment gaining exposure to the various roles and responsibilities that need to come together to bring a product to market. They will learn about the ethical and regulatory environment surrounding every step of the product's development. They will see one aspect and gain in-depth insight into that one area of the life cycle of the product. The aspects include: how clinical development plans are generated; the need for target product profiling; the management of various committees required to oversee safety profile of the product; how formulation and manufacturing are undertaken; clinical research trials; regulatory submission to name a few. This course will give the students an invaluable opportunity to not only see the actual practice of the theory they have learned in the previous 12 months, but actually be a part of it and understand how all the disciplines involved come together to work towards a common outcome which is ultimately the marketing of the product.
