WOMMA and the Center for Communication Compliance (CCC) have formed a strategic alliance to bring the healthcare industry a new Online Certificate Program focused on regulatory compliance for new and emerging media.

Entitled Regulatory Compliance 101: Internet Promotion and Social Media, this first-of-its-kind online certificate program is based on a "train + test" methodology designed to help reduce violative materials, decrease legal vulnerability, and support a culture of compliance.

The program is designed to help marketers understand the rules and guidelines imposed by regulatory agencies, industry associations, and trade groups:

• Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the Dept. of HHS
• Department of Justice (DOJ)
• Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
• Accreditation Counsel for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)
• American Medical Association (AMA)

Upon completion of the WOMMA Online Certificate Program in Internet Promotion and Social Media, you will have answers to:

• How can you promote prescription products online these days with all the limiting regulations? What can you really do in social media that is not violative of FDA DDMAC regulations? Said another way, which social media strategies can be implemented that are in compliance with FDA's regulatory framework?
• What are the regulatory implications of the space and time limitations inherent in many social media channels? How do these constraints affect online promotion today and what new issues may arise from a regulatory perspective?
• FDA has guidelines about format/layout/typography/white space in regard to print ads … how will these "implementing factors" play out in social media and Web sites, which are so different from print?

Become the Healthcare regulation "go-to" person in your company in regard to best practices in Internet promotion and social media. WOMMA's online certificate program provides professionals in healthcare (companies, agencies, consultants) with the latest information regarding regulatory compliance for Internet promotion and social media.

Any professional in the pharmaceutical, biotech or device industry, who works with, designs, executes, reviews, or oversees Internet promotion or social media programs.
