Pharmacovigilance Certificate
Pharmacovigilance is the science of collecting, detecting, assessing, and monitoring data of marketed drugs to minimize or prevent adverse effects. Pharmacovigilance, an evolution of safety pharmacology, employs sophisticated, state-of-the-art approaches in the collection and analyses of data for marketed pharmaceutical products. It offers the promise of significant, beneficial improvements in human health by providing safer, effective and individually tailored therapeutics.
Loyola’s Department of Molecular Pharmacology & Neuroscience offers a 12-credit certificate program in Pharmacovigilance which can be completed in 1-year (full-time) or 2-years (part-time). This program is especially well suited for individuals who are planning careers in the pharmaceutical industry, public health sciences, or biomedical research. The certificate program is also suited for physicians, nurses, and scientists in epidemiology or therapeutic-related fields.
All courses consist of Asynchronous lectures and synchronous course meetings (early evening) and are flexible to allow students to take the courses from home and around daytime obligations. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with full consideration assured by the deadlines: July 15th (Fall semester admission), and January 3rd (Spring semester admission) each year.
Upon completion of the program, our graduates will be knowledgeable in the latest cutting-edge methods and techniques used by pharmacovigilance groups to detect and assess adverse events of drugs and pharmaceutical products. They will also be knowledgeable of the means by which these data can be employed to improve human health.
