The FDA and other Health Authorities worldwide have focused their attention on data integrity, considering data integrity to be a significant risk to public safety. This is evident in the number of Warning Letter observations and related Import Alerts issued in the last 5-7 years. Data integrity is not a new topic, however, but is a part of the GMPs. Often, companies attempt to address data integrity issues procedurally and by conducting numerous training programs. These tend to be ineffective as data integrity issues are often rooted in a company's culture and may be very difficult to address.
Topics covered in this seminar include the concepts of data integrity Part 11 compliance, risk management, and quality management systems. Through an extensive case study, attendees will work through cultural challenges that contribute to data integrity issues and make change difficult. Many of the examples provided during the seminar will come from the instructor's experience finding data integrity issues during routine supplier audits, and Warning Letter remediation activities that involved data integrity observations. This includes how to conduct a data integrity investigation and targeting the right group for training / discipline.

Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
