R C Nelson, and C C Peck

Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Washington, DC.

Challenged with the clearly demonstrated need for highly trained clinical pharmacologists for new drug development and review activities, the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) established an internal Staff College. This organizationally unique and innovative unit addressed the educational needs of both the new and the veteran CDER scientists. A multileveled strategy was conceptualized and implemented as described.
