Step by step through Medical Device Law

This intensive course explains in an understandable way the legal framework of the development and marketing of medical devices for non legal practitioners.

Furthermore you will be provided with information on the broader significance of the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) as the authority for medical devices in Germany.
