Are you ready for an FDA inspection?
Self-check your quality system against what FDA actually cites: a 1,119-question self-assessment, the most-cited findings decoded, and a searchable library of 3,621 Warning Letters and 17,657 Form 483 observations, all in plain language, for drug and biologics makers.
Check your audit readiness →Three ways in, by depth
Same material, pitched differently depending on where you are. Choose the track that matches today, not the one you aspire to.
Foundations
Regulatory framework, ALCOA+ principles, GAMP 5, and what FDA and EMA actually inspect. For anyone entering the field or building a program from scratch.
Open the Foundations track →Implementation
Audit trail design, validation deliverables, CSV/CSA, manufacturing automation, and inspection readiness. For practitioners building or inheriting GxP systems.
Open the Implementation track →Program & Leadership
Enterprise DI program architecture, 483 responses, CSA, cloud validation, advanced-modality and biologics challenges, and AI tooling in regulated environments.

- AI Governance for GxP: Policy, Roles, and Lifecycle Oversight
How a regulated life-sciences organization governs AI across its lifecycle: the policy, the inventory, the roles, risk tiering, human oversight, change and retraining control, decommissioning, and the link back to quality risk management.
- AI in Pharmacovigilance: Validating the Machines That Read Safety Data
How to deploy and validate AI and machine learning in drug safety, case intake, MedDRA coding, literature screening, and signal detection, with an inspection-defensible approach to a regulatory framework that is still forming.
- Inspection Readiness for AI-Enabled GxP Systems
What inspectors look for when an AI or machine learning model sits inside a regulated process, and how to assemble the inventory, validation, data-lineage, change, oversight, and vendor evidence that survives the questions.
- AI/ML in Regulated Drug and Biologic Software: Change Control and Regulatory Expectations
How regulators frame AI and machine learning in software that supports drug, biologic, and combination products, covering the model lifecycle, good machine learning practice, the predetermined change control plan, transparency, and real-world performance monitoring, with a worked PCCP outline.
