The FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) offers a variety of training modules that educate students in medical device regulations. Courses are available through online format to provide a convenient method of learning and keeping up to date with regulations, inspections and computer applications.
Course options include an overview of regulatory requirements, an introduction to medical device recalls, CDRH-regulated software and bio-research monitoring. Students learn about what devices are regulated by the FDA, including electrocardiographs, endoscopes and replacement heart valves, device classifications, and special controls.
Each student's progress is assessed through a post-module test. Students who obtain a passing grade of 80 percent or better receive a certificate of completion for each course.
