While the reason may differ, FDA investigators follow established procedures, and knowing what to expect can make the difference between a smooth inspection and a disruptive one. In this webinar, Larry Stringer, Former FDA Supervisor and Investigator with more than 30 years at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, will share first-hand insights from conducting hundreds of inspections and leading revisions to FDA’s Investigations Operations Manual (IOM) — the primary reference for field investigators.
