Course Prerequisite:
A basic working knowledge of MedDRA and the
Coding with MedDRA course or coding experience
Objective:
To understand the role of a coding terminology;
to understand the benefits of coding conventions
when using MedDRA; and to review, understand,
and practice the principles described in the
“MedDRA Term Selection: Points to Consider” document.
Description:
This half-day
course provides experienced MedDRA users with a basis
for understanding the importance and utility of coding
conventions as they pertain to the conversion of legacy
data to MedDRA and for new data received post-conversion.
Participants will be given a thorough overview of the
MedDRA Term Selection: Points to Consider document and
will see examples of challenging verbatim terms to code
by applying the principles described in the document.
Finally, participants will take a final "test"
to assess their knowledge and understanding of what had
been presented in the course.
