On December 14, a reinvigorated Clinical Trials Forum met to discuss “Bioresearch Monitoring in Medical Devices: Practical Considerations when Preparing for and Responding to FDA Inspections." Susan Rockwell, Manager of Clinical Trials and Clinical Development at Medical Device Consultants, Inc. presented an overview of the BIMO program at the CDRH and strategies companies have used to prepare for FDA inspections.

Kate Giovino, Director of Clinical Operations at Stryker Biotech, discussed how companies can prepare for inspections in advance of their FDA submissions and also shared some case studies of her experiences dealing with site inspections.

The next meeting of the HR Forum will focus on “Emerging Tools in Performance Management.”

The Small Company Group will meet in early 2007 to discuss “Corporate Investment in Your Emerging Company: The Do’s and Don’ts.”
