SUMMARY:AAHP Summit on Challenges and Solutions in Quality & Safety of Homeopathic Drug Products: Keeping Your Business Compliant under FDA’s New Proposed Guidance
DESCRIPTION:About the Summit\nNow more than ever\, it is vital to your business to be up to date on compliance issues in every area. To assist the manufacturers and labelers of homeopathic products\, the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists (AAHP) is offering regulators\, quality experts\, suppliers and those with allied interests a highly specialized one-day training. The small setting promises interaction with experts and peers to address your business concerns for a fraction of the cost of multiple consultants. \nFDA is expected to adopt its guidance of risk-based enforcement. Do your products fall into the regulatory priority categories the agency identified: products with reported safety concerns; ingredients associated with safety concerns; non-oral and non-topical administration; marketed for infants\, children\, the elderly\, etc.; or product not adhering to standards such as the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. \nDon’t miss this powerful one-day investment — especially if your company will be present in the exhibit hall for the Joint American Homeopathic Conference. \n	Who Should Attend\nRecommended attendees are staff with homeopathic manufacturers or businesses and consultants for this pharmaceutical industry related to manufacturing and labeling compliance. Company leaders\, such as the President and CEO\, are also welcome. \nQuality Staff \nEvent sponsor \n\nQuality Assurance\nQuality Control\n\nSafety Staff \n\nPharmacovigilance\nMedical\nToxicologists\n\nRegulatory Staff \n\nLegal\nMarketing\n\n\n	What You Will Learn\n\nHow hot-button policy issues may impact your company’s bottom line\nHow best to prepare for FDA’s new enforcement priorities\nSave time and money developing a compliance strategy at small group workshop with access to in-depth experts to ensure business operations\nGain insight into important compliance procedures\nNetwork with the largest gathering of the American homeopathy community at the 14th annual Joint American Homeopathic Conference’s Reception.\n	Knowledge Leaders\nAAHP Summit attendees will gain valuable insight on quality\, safety and regulatory issues in workshops developed under the guidance three experts.
