MSSO Events/Meetings FAQ

User Group meetings serve as a forum to discuss enhancements to the terminology and propose changes to the services offered by MSSO. In addition, the User Group meetings provide an opportunity for individuals to network with other professionals in the pharmacovigilance community. The User Group meetings are held both in the US and the EU annually.

Visit the MedDRA User Group Meetings page of the MedDRA MSSO web site for any scheduled upcoming meetings or to view previous meeting details. In practice, the US and EU User Group meetings are held directly after the Drug Information Association "Annual Meeting" and "EuroMeeting" have completed in their respective cities.

The MedDRA User Group meetings, sponsored by the MSSO, serve as a forum for the exchange of best practices and lessons learned among MedDRA subscribers within the industry. We encourage subscriber attendance as well as questions to generate conversations among subscribers at the meetings.

Blue Ribbon Panels (BRPs) have been developed to provide a forum for MedDRA experts from industry and regulatory authorities to discuss and make recommendations on challenging MedDRA issues on behalf of the user community.

BRPs are scheduled when an issue of interest is brought to the attention of the MSSO. Panel members are chosen and BRPs are open to subscribers who wish to attend as audience members.

For further information on BRPs please visit our Blue Ribbon Panel Web page.
