Description: This professional certification in pharmaceutical sales and marketing is designed to train professionals on Good Promotional Practices (GPP) and the regulations which govern companies, their employees, and contractors on how to sell and market drugs in the United States. The heaviest legal penalties imposed on drug companies concern interactions with healthcare professionals in the context of prescription drug marketing, notably for violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. Monetary penalties have amounted to billions of dollars in some cases. In this program, we identify the laws and guidance that apply, and we provide information that will help companies to market their products without incurring penalties. Furthermore, advertisements and promotional labeling of prescription drugs in the USA must comply with statutory and regulatory requirements, as per FDA 21 CFR Part 202.

In addition, the Internet and social media platforms have increasingly enabled companies to engage more actively with the public. In addition to those that apply to all advertising and promotion of prescription drugs, specific regulatory requirements and industry/regulatory guidance apply to DTC advertising and promotion, including online promotion, and we also discuss these in this program. This program provides information and guidance from:
