FDA is inviting medical device industry, academia, and health care facilities to participate in its Experiential Learning Program ("ELP") for medical devices. As described in the May 1 Federal Register, the ELP provides a formal training mechanism for regulatory review staff to visit research, clinical, manufacturing, and health care facilities to observe firsthand how medical devices are designed, developed, and utilized. The program includes several focus areas based on device type. Organizations interested in participating should submit a request to CDRH by June 2, which should include a description of the facility relative and preferred focus area. Requests can be based on this sample form.
