FDA/CDRH is committed to improving transparency and providing comprehensive industry education to promote understanding of the regulations, guidance documents and policies for medical devices. 

The CDRH Industry Basics Workshop is just one way we are working to meet your educational needs.  Other improvements we’ve made to further industry education include:

• Hosting live regulatory webinars to provide clarification for CDRH Guidance Documents as they are released. These webinars feature a presentation (posted to CDRH Learn for later reference), and live Question and Answer session; and
• Creating new content for the CDRH Learn and Device Advice websites
