Teaching 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 when conducting preclinical studies to collect data for FDA review and approval for continued studies in Phase I 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.al regulations set in place to ensure investigational new drugs are safe before testing in humans. cGLP 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 review these fundamentals and illustrate best practices and vetted classroom activities that will assist educators to easily introduce cGLP principles into their classrooms.
