This Short Course will be offered virtually – Join from anywhere! This short course covers all aspects of the Signal Management process. The course is sub-divided into two modules:

1. The first module discusses the Importance of robust and efficient Signal Management, and the Signal Detection step: we discuss definitions, applicable regulations, methodologies, quantitative v. qualitative techniques, and common datasets reviewed.
2. The second module covers Signal Validation where the validation process, relevance, and possible conclusions shall be elaborated. Next, we discuss the Signal Assessment process in detail. We start with the various data-sources that can be evaluated and their relative importance, explain the formulation of the search strategy, and finally outline the key aspects of case assessment and literature summarization. We cover the basic structure of the Signal Assessment Report and discuss the importance of using multiple data sources for a comprehensive signal assessment. We end by touching upon various possible outcomes of the Signal Management process.

We do not aim to have an entirely theoretical discussion on this complex topic: illustrative examples will be described to illustrate how the principles discussed are put into practice. At the end of the course, participants can expect to have a good understanding of Signal management from a theoretical and practical standpoint.
