The Healthcare Meeting Compliance Certificate (HMCC) program provides healthcare meeting compliance stakeholders with the knowledge and experience they need to successfully navigate the increasingly complex pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device regulatory environment. A broad range of healthcare topics including cross-border healthcare compliance, industry trends, global regulations, and compliance, codes, laws and mandates will be covered.

The program is worth 4 clock hours and after completing the intensive, four-hour training, participants will receive a certificate of achievement and hold the HMCC designation for two years. MPI members enjoy a special price on HMCC. Many of the public programs take place in tandem with industry events where additional pricing levels are offered.
