“I was very fortunate to participate in the ACDRS course early in my career in drug development The course provided real-world examples taught by thought-leaders in the field from academia, regulatory agencies, and industry. Having classmates who also represented these co-operative facets of drug development enriched the experience by providing alternate viewpoints and opportunities for professional interactions.”
