Learning Objectives

At the end of the course, learners should be able to:

  • Participate in a community of practice to share best practices and updates on regulatory science with a view to accelerating regulatory review and approval

Agenda

Regulatory science needs to keep pace with technological innovation but determining whether these diagnostic tests are safe, effective and fit for purpose has become increasingly complex. Addressing these issues, the agenda is as follows:

  • Measurements of diagnostic test performance and effectiveness

  • Difference between evaluation, validation and verification

  • Key considerations in assessing clinical performance studies
