What makes Drugvigil's MedDRA Coding Masterclass different from other MedDRA training?

Unlike most MedDRA training that relies on screenshots or PDFs, Drugvigil's MedDRA Coding Masterclass provides hands-on access to a live licensed MedDRA subscription. Students code real adverse event cases — covering SOC selection, PT coding, LLT mapping, and complex multi-event scenarios — gaining the actual MedDRA experience employers look for.

What is ICSR case processing and why should I learn it?

ICSR (Individual Case Safety Report) case processing is the core operational function in pharmacovigilance — the process of receiving, triaging, entering, reviewing, and submitting adverse event reports to regulatory authorities. It is one of the most in-demand skills in drug safety. Drugvigil's ICSR Case Processing Masterclass trains you on VigiVault, an enterprise-grade safety database built as an alternative to Argus Safety.

How long does it take to complete the pharmacovigilance courses?

Course durations vary: Pharmacovigilance Fundamentals is 12 hours, MedDRA Coding Masterclass is 10 hours, ICSR Case Processing is 20 hours, Signal Detection & Risk Management is 15 hours, and the End to End Pharmacovigilance Training is 40 hours across 20 modules. All courses are self-paced with instructor-led sessions.
