RAPS announced today that 231 regulatory professionals passed Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) exams during the most recent testing period, which took place during April and May of this year, thereby earning the RAC credential. The RAC is the only professional credential specifically for regulatory professionals in the healthcare product sector.
To earn and keep the credential, one must first pass one or more of the four exams—US, EU, Canada or Global—and then recertify every three years by actively participating in continuous learning, professional development and regulatory leadership activities. Currently, there are more than 4,500 RAC-credentialed professionals around the world.
“Earning and maintaining the RAC credential demonstrates not only regulatory knowledge and critical thinking skills, but also a strong commitment to staying current and continuing to learn and engage with the professional community,” said RAPS Executive Director Paul Brooks.
See below for the complete list of those who attained the RAC credential in spring 2018.
