Activity Outline

Description: This series of educational webinars is designed to aid physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, certified public health professionals, other health care professionals, and students, to provide better patient care by knowing how to find relevant FDA regulatory information that will improve drug safety. Drug shortages can have serious effects on patients who may experience treatment delays, receive alternative treatments that are not as effective or well-tolerated, or forgo treatment. These outcomes can prolong patient suffering, contribute to disease progression, and result in other adverse health outcomes that reduce patient well-being and increase morbidity. Mitigating and preventing drug shortages is a priority for FDA. This webinar will provide a general overview of CDER's Drug Shortage program, current shortage issues and challenges.
