Yes, some Pharmacovigilance courses include training in medical coding, as it is essential for classifying adverse drug reactions and diseases. Standardized coding systems like MedDRA (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities) are commonly taught.
Medical coding ensures accurate documentation and communication of drug safety data. While not always a primary focus, basic medical coding knowledge can be beneficial for professionals handling pharmacovigilance data.
