Course Description:
In every laboratory inspection there are always two teams – the auditors and the auditees. Whether you are performing the audit or receiving the audit, there are rules, techniques and tips that will make your job more effective and reduce audit observations. This interactive and exciting seminar will look at various laboratory audits (GLP, cGMP, GCP, EPA) from both perspectives. You learn what auditor s look for, see examples of best practices and also hear war stories of things gone wrong as you get to experience both sides of the process. We will use presentation, discussion, exercises, role playing and workshops so that you experience what it is like to be an auditor and how to receive an audit.
This seminar will include overviews of the various regulations that affect laboratories and understand how they drive the audit, including 21CFR Part 11 as so many modern laboratories rely on computer-based data acquisition and reporting. We will provide forms and templates used in conducting audits, and train on when and how to utilize these tools. Each participant will write an audit observation as an auditor, and separately respond as an auditee to an observation and design a corrective action plan. We will explore all the aspects of laboratory operations including test methods validation, notebooks, instrument and equipment qualification, training records and data systems that are subject to audit.
You will leave these two days of training ready to receive an inspection with confidence in your new skills. You will be better prepared than ever before to be part of a less stressful audit with fewer observations.

Local Attractions
San Diego Cabrillo National Monument
The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.
Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
La Jolla
In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.
La Jolla visitors like to shop and eat in the nice restaurants, some of them with lovely ocean views. There's a lot for the active visitor, too, including ocean kayaking, tide pool-hopping, surfing at Windansea Beach, biking or running along the waterfront.
