Interested in learning more about polymorphism?  Drug development? Solid forms such as salts, cocrystals, and amorphous dispersions? 
 
You can find it here. Seventh Street Development Group has a wide range of webcasts and training sessions designed for you and your company. 
 
Do you have people at different sites and don't want the cost of bringing them to one site for training?  We have webcasts that fit the bill.  Our interactive web presentations not only save time and money, but also provide a great venue for group training.  Use one presentation or a series of talks to get your team up to speed. 
  
Need on-site training?  Seventh Street Development Group can provide training at your site tailored to your specific needs. Pick from available topics or ask for a custom session. Half day, full day, and longer courses are available.
 
Interested in learning about new topics without leaving your desk?  We have live online training throughout the year that cover different aspects of pharmaceutical development, presented by seasoned professionals. All you need is a computer and internet connection to get the focused training you're looking for.
 
We also have online courses that you can use for internal training when you need them.  Buy individual talks or group together several related topics for an internal short course.  We even have topics already packaged for you.  Check out what's available for your next training session. 
 
Our topics include the following areas.  Don't see what you need?  Contact us to find out if your topic is available.
