Summary
This three day course will help you understand the clinical manifestations of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in different organ systems. You will learn the definitions, the general terminology and the classification of adverse events (AEs) and ADRs. You will also learn methods to determine the causal relationship in single case reports and to understand the principles of causal relationship assessments in single case reports.
The course is offered once a year.
