Recertification
Professional development is vital to the healthcare-related professions and is an important aspect of the RAC program. Individuals holding the RAC must recertify every three years after initial certification to demonstrate their ever-expanding regulatory knowledge and continued dedication to the profession.
Recertification is based upon participation in educational and professional activities, including:
- Attending educational programs
- Speaking, instructing or participating in regulatory education programs or products
- Articles and other literary contributions to Regulatory Affairs Focus and professional journals
- Serving as an officer, director or committee member of a professional association relevant to the regulatory profession
