FDA-TRACK: Office of External Affairs

 

FDA's Office of External Affairs (OEA) serves as the central point of communication and education about the FDA’s public health and regulatory activity. This includes the development, coordination, and leadership of all FDA communications and outreach efforts to the news media, health professionals, patient advocates, industry, states, consumer groups, and the general public. OEA also serves as the focal point for speechwriting, creative and editorial services, and best practices in digital and web technology.

Each FDA-TRACK program area collects, analyzes, and reports its performance measures and results. Explore the progress OEA is making towards it's strategic priorities below:
