Professional Development Series – Episode 2: Leveraging Regulatory Experience for Compliance Careers - On Campus Podcast

On Campus - with CITI Program

An effective compliance program, as outlined in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, incorporates seven key elements to prevent and detect organizational misconduct. First, organizations must establish clear standards and procedures to ensure legal and ethical conduct, supported by comprehensive training and communication to promote awareness. Second, high-level personnel must oversee the program, ensuring accountability, while specific individuals are responsible for its implementation. Finally, regular monitoring, auditing, a system for confidentially reporting violations, consistent enforcement, and periodic risk assessments ensure the program's ongoing effectiveness.

Two CITI Program colleagues, Andra M. Popa, JD, LLM, Assistant Director of Healthcare Compliance, and Anne Hawkins-Badge, DHSc, MSPH, Assistant Director of Environmental Health and Safety, discuss their respective regulatory expertise that directly aligns with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines' seven key elements. In their discussion, they highlight the similarities and skills that may apply to a professional compliance position from their respective backgrounds.
