"Building Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Programs" (Nov. 18, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA)
(We are posting this event notice as a courtesy to the organizers. It is not a Partnership event.)
This
short-course is designed to be a comprehensive, introductory course in how
pharmaceutical/medical device companies can understand and effectively manage
the growing global counterfeiting threat.
The
course, taught by experts from the field, examines the nature of the criminal
challenge, Government/industry roles and responsibilities, the legal
underpinnings that define the crime and how it can be pursued. It goes on to
examine how companies can organize and build processes to deter, detect and
disrupt counterfeiting and how to integrate these efforts into ongoing business
management and governance. The course will conclude with a discussion of how
security technologies should be used to buttress the overall program. It will briefly address the issue of product
serialization, followed by a review of key industry collaborative activities.
