QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What are FDA advisory committees? How can I find out when they meet?
FDA enlists non-government experts from across the country to help the agency reach decisions, particularly concerning controversial issues or new and unusual products. These "advisory committees" consist of medical professionals, scientists, researchers, industry leaders, consumers, and patients.
To learn more about advisory committees, and to see a list of meeting dates, go to
