Participating employers will be sent a list of students attending the event and details on how to access their LinkedIn and portfolios before the event. \nEmployers will have an assigned shared small bistro table (room to set up a laptop or iPad) with your company name posted. We do not have space for booths or banner set ups. Please enjoy the simplicity of this networking reception event. \nYou will have the opportunity to provide a 30 second pitch about your company (optional\, but strongly encouraged).

SUMMARY:Quality Systems Overview\, Implementation and Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nQuality Systems (QS) are sometimes viewed as a necessary evil or belonging only to production and QA personnel. However\, effective QS can help a business not only comply\, but excel. This course focuses on medical device companies and how to create\, implement\, and improve QS that match your company. Both FDA QS and ISO QS will be discussed. We will also cover: how different departments are impacted by QS\, the biggest pitfalls in establishing and maintaining QS\, and how to critically evaluate your QS. There will be group exercises and lots of interaction among participants to provide multiple options. In QS\, it is definitely true that one size does not fit all! \nBy the end of the course\, participants will have gained: \nFamiliarity with QS concepts\nTechniques for organizing and managing QS\nBest practices for working in QS\nMethods for adapting your QS to be most effective\nCourse Outline: \nIntroduction to FDA and ISO\nLifecycles of QS\nMyths about QS\nOrganizing principles\nManaging principles\nQuestions to consider\nResources \nWho Should Attend:\nThis course is aimed at medical device personnel with some familiarity with QS. It will be beneficial to those with limited knowledge of QS\, but we will NOT be going step by step through all the requirements of a quality system. Recommended for those in customer service\, purchasing\, manufacturing\, engineering\, quality assurance\, or related disciplines. \nVenue: \nPortland State Business Accelerator – Mt.
