Each year the US Food and Drug Administration expends considerable resources convening over 60 advisory committee meetings. This is part of our commitment to engage a wide range of scientific expertise to inform our regulatory decision making process. This is the right thing to do for we must keep up-to-date with the rapidly-changing world of science related to the products we regulate.

My take on this is that something so important deserves careful scrutiny to assure we are doing it the right way. Our Advisory Committee function is therefore one of my highest priorities in our Agency wide process-improvement effort.
