Navigating FDA Inspections: Preparation, Execution, and Best Practices
Rosalee Del campo, ACD

An FDA inspection can define the trajectory of your organization’s compliance record, yet few teams feel truly prepared when the moment arrives. This session demystifies the inspection process and offers a practical, structured approach to navigating it with confidence. We will explore what prompts an FDA inspection, the types of inspections you may encounter, and the expectations investigators bring to your facility. Attendees will learn how to build inspection readiness through documentation organization, staff preparation, and internal audit practices. The presentation also outlines effective strategies for managing interactions with investigators, responding to requests, and maintaining compliance throughout the inspection. Participants will leave with a clear framework and actionable steps to support a smooth, well-managed inspection experience.
