The Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG)1 held its interim videoconference on 15 March 2023.

In the context of the pilot for expansion of its membership, the established PDG members and IPC discussed the progress of IPC on the criteria of the PDG pilot program, as well as the challenges faced and suggestions by IPC. This open discussion will allow the PDG to make any necessary adjustments to the pilot program prior to its conclusion at the annual PDG meeting scheduled in October 2023.
