Investigations Operations Manual
The Investigations Operations Manual (IOM) is the primary source of guidance regarding Agency policy and procedures for field investigators and inspectors. This extends to all individuals who perform field investigational activities in support of the Agency's public mission. Accordingly, it directs the conduct of all fundamental field investigational activities.  As such, it can be very helpful for life science professionals, as it is a good tool to learn what to expect from FDA.
