As we previously reported here and here, December receipts are missing from the update, even though the rest of the December metrics have been updated (see below). Well, they are not really missing (other than in the report), they just have not been figured out by FDA, due to the issues associated with the shutdown […]
Day Two started with a recap of Day One (see post from yesterday here) by Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Day Two kicked off with a session entitled Generics Help Patients, How Can Patients Help Generics.
