global Communities of Practice (COPs) . The content for E-Letters is submitted by
professionals working in the pharmaceutical industry and is a resource by which to share best practices,
regulatory news, technical articles and innovative solutions. To read the E-Letters, follow the links
below. You can gain access to information on that particular topic, additional headlines on emerging trends
