Introduction

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the regulatory, scientific, public health and consumer protection agency responsible for ensuring all human and animal drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, foods, food additives, drugs and medicated feeds for food producing animals, tobacco and radiation emitting devices safe, and effective.

The mission of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is to perform an essential public health task by making sure that safe and effective drugs are available to improve the health of people in the United States. CDER regulates over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription drugs, including biological therapeutics and generic drugs.

The mission of the Office of Compliance (OC) is to shield patients from poor quality, unsafe and ineffective drugs through proactive compliance strategies and risk-based enforcement actions. CDER OC strives to be a model of efficiency, innovation, and operational excellence. Guided by law and science, the Office makes strategic and risk-based decisions, communicates clearly with all stakeholders, fosters global collaboration, promotes voluntary compliance, and takes decisive action.

The Office of Compounding Quality and Compliance (OCQC) aims to protect patients from unsafe, ineffective, and poor-quality compounded drugs, while preserving access to lawfully marketed compounded drugs for patients who have a medical need for them. OCQC works to protect consumers from unsafe compounded drugs, develop and implement the Compounding Quality Center of Excellence focused on improving the quality of compounded drugs, and develop and implement policies and compliance strategies to protect the public health by helping assure the quality of compounded drugs.

The Consumer Safety Officer (Special Assistant) is in a unique position to address overarching issues that impact the three (3) divisions and six (6) branches of OCQC, leading the development and implementing projects and initiatives that cut across the office.

Duties/Responsibilities

As a Consumer Safety Officer (Special Assistant) in the Office of Compounding and Quality Compliance (OCQC) and the Immediate Office, the incumbent will be responsible for developing and implementing compliance strategies, programs, policies, and communications for protecting the public health that minimize exposure to unsafe, ineffective, and poor-quality compounded drug products while preserving access to lawfully marketed compounded drugs for patients who have a medical need for them.
• Works closely with Office Director and Office Deputy Director to develop assignments, projects initiatives and responses to urgent, controversial, high profile cross cutting requests, involving compounded drugs. Because of the broad compliance, policy, and enforcement responsibilities of the Office of Compounding and Quality Compliance (OCQC), the workload is variable, crosscutting and often complex, requiring directed and urgent action.
• Identifies and assesses emerging, standing, or precedent-setting issues and their potential or real impact on Office procedures, policies, activities, and resources that impact all OCQC, the three (3) divisions and six (6) branches. Makes decisions concerning work priorities; deciding which issues must be addressed immediately and reprioritizing current work. Monitors the workflow to see that the set priorities are met.
• Performs, facilitates, or leads special assignments, projects, and initiatives on matters that cross OCQC such as projects and initiatives addressing the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used to compound drugs. For example, this initiative addressing the use of APIs by compounders requires consensus and collaboration among the three (3) divisions on potential adulteration issues, misbranding and the conditions of sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act as well as policy and outreach implications. As the compounding program evolves and matures, additional complex compounding compliance issues involving multiple entities throughout the office, Agency, government, Congress, and are driven by the need to protect public health will arise. After consensus within the office, assignments then often involve multiple inter-personal contacts within Agency and FDA, Federal, local health authorities, the regulated industry, healthcare professionals and the public for input and implementation.
• Research appropriate sources to develop briefing papers, projects, and initiatives and weighs the probable consequences of various approaches and provides recommendations to high level officials.
• Keeps abreast of new legislature, regulations, and policy that may impact OCQC activities, programs, and initiatives. Examines the impact between these future changes and the interface with current policies, practices, and programs. Advises the Director accordingly. Provides expert advice on policy and procedure to the Director. Develops and implements new policies and procedures and identifies critical initiatives as needed.
• Interacts with a variety of technical, scientific, public health, regulatory and administrative professionals on OCQC issues and policies across the Agency, other governmental organizations, the national and international pharmaceutical industry, and public and private entity representatives.
• Researches and prepares written and oral reports on OCQC activities throughout the Office and Agency. Prepares studies on a variety of topics including OCQC legislation, policies, projects, and special initiatives. Monitors Compounding activities and attends to emerging problems or issues that affect the direction or outcome of OCQC goals and objectives. Develops solutions or recommendations to modify or change the approach if needed and presents findings to senior management.
