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 included the following topics:

• Pharmacovigilance beyond ADRs
• Signal detection
• Pharmacovigilance of counterfeits drugs, generics and biosimilars
• Role of regulatory agencies and industries in Pharmacovigilance
• Risk- benefit assessment and Risk minimization

Hands-on training and panel discussions and lectures were the main instructional approach. There was ample opportunity to exchange views and ideas in discussions following individual presentations, after the panel discussion at the end of the seminar and during coffee breaks.

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.

Training certificates were provided to those who complete the course.

 The course faculty consisted of International experts in pharmacovigilance, representing government, academia, and industry.
