This training course was organized in the beautiful city of Mysore, India from 12 to 14 January 2015, in collaboration with the JSS University  and was aimed to engage all interested pharmacovigilance professionals in a regulatory, industry, hospital, university or community setting.

This three day-course, the second joint training in Asia, was conducted with expertise from ISoP and Uppsala Monitoring Centre, and designed for interdisciplinary groups to learn and work together in contributing to patient safety when medicines are used.   The programme was focused on providing expert perspective and guidance on key elements of pharmacovigilance for the provision of risk management, and conduct of signal detection, with a focus on activities in emerging markets.

The programme covered topics such as:

At the end of the course, the participants were expected to appreciate the complexities of pharmacovigilance and use the appropriate tools to advance better detection, monitoring, reporting and prevention.
