Company history

in the pharmaceutical industry, and a range of courses were developed and presented in this field. Health
Science Academy was later bought by Innovex SA, a subsidiary of Quintiles Inc., and Innovex SA continued to
build on the company’s core business.
In 2005, Health Science Academy was bought by the Foundation for Professional Development (FPD), a private institution of
