Teaching Current Good Laboratory Practices (CGLP) as a Workplace Skill

Current Good Laboratory Practices (CGLP) are federal regulations set in place to ensure investigational new drugs are safe before testing in humans.  They are required for preclinical studies and data collection, used for FDA approval and leading to product testing in humans during Phase 1 Clinical Trials.  The course will cover fundamental GLP concepts, and illustrate best practices and vetted classroom activities that will assist educators to easily introduce CGLP principles into their classrooms.

• Appreciate how CGLP guidelines influence departmental roles and work-life culture within the research/study organization
• Communicate career opportunities within the pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical industry
• Apply enhanced understanding of CGLP to the classroom with a toxicity study activity
