Course Description:

The Post Graduate Diploma in Pharmacovigilance (PGDPV) is a rigorous one-year academic program designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge and applied skills in the field of drug safety and pharmacovigilance. Structured over four semesters of three months each, this program offers an in-depth curriculum that bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical execution in real-world safety monitoring settings within the pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare sectors.

The course is divided into 16 detailed modules. It begins with core concepts such as the history, scope, and principles of pharmacovigilance, followed by adverse drug reaction (ADR) management, signal detection, risk assessment, and case processing. As students advance, they are introduced to global regulatory frameworks, medical coding (MedDRA, WHO-ART), aggregate reporting (PADER, PSUR, DSUR), E2B standards, and safety database management. The final semesters focus on auditing, compliance, Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP), and the integration of pharmacovigilance into clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance.

Through interactive sessions, real-world case studies, and exposure to industry tools and software, the program prepares students to confidently handle pharmacovigilance operations and regulatory submissions. PGDPV graduates emerge as industry-ready professionals who are capable of contributing to global drug safety and public health.

At the end of each semester, candidates must appear for an internal assessment (semester examination). A minimum score of 50% is required to successfully pass and progress to the next semester. This evaluation ensures continuous learning, concept clarity, and academic discipline throughout the program.
