The adjunct faculty appointment is on a term-by-term basis and the course is taught via online synchronous live sessions, which take place on weekday evenings (Pacific Standard Time). The course will be taught in the spring.

This course will provide students with broad general competencies in regulatory affairs for all FDA-regulated product classes (drugs, biologics and devices) throughout the product lifecycle (pre-clinical development, clinical development and post marketing). Emphasis will be placed on regulatory interactions - submissions, other communications and inspections - for each product class and for each phase of the product lifecycle. By the end of this course, the students will understand the structure and function of the FDA related to the Biopharmaceutical industry.

They will be prepared for entry-level professional roles in Biopharmaceutical Regulatory through instruction in Regulatory submission requirements, product modification and process change requirements and compliance documentation requirements.
