“Congratulations to the latest successful class of applicants for the RAC credential, and to all current holders of the RAC,” said RAPS Executive Director Paul Brooks. “RAC-credentialed professionals not only demonstrate current knowledge of relevant regulations and the critical thinking skills to apply them in a variety of situations, but also have several years of practical RA experience and have committed to improvement of the regulatory affairs profession via continuous learning and growth.”
