Taking an MBA course this weekend: Drug and Device Regulations

This weekend, I'm sitting in an MBA course focused on drug and device regulations. You won't find a course like this is many other MBA programs, but I'm enrolled in a program that focuses on the pharmaceutical and health care industry. It's great to be surrounded by other colleagues who understand the issues that impact a rapidly evolving industry. Here's a brief description of the course:

With the plethora of new communications vehicles, including direct-to-consumer advertising and the Internet, the goal of achieving marketing objectives and remaining in adherence with FDA regulations/ guidelines has become increasingly difficult. This course will provide a working knowledge of the federal regulation of prescription drug promotion and associated marketing practices and will provide insight into drug promotion issues currently of interest to FDA and the pharmaceutical industry. The course will also consider the impact of products liability and anti-kickback concerns on developing marketing programs for prescription drugs.
