These 160 professionals earned their RAC in autumn 2023
RAPS today announced the names of 160 professionals who passed the Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) exams in the autumn 2023 examination window, which started on 30 October and ended 8 December.
Each professional listed below has earned their RAC-Drugs or RAC-Devices designation, the leading credentials for regulatory professionals in the healthcare product sector.
These 160 individuals join more than 5,000 global professionals who hold RAC credentials.
To pass a RAC exam, individuals must demonstrate not only knowledge of healthcare product regulations, but also the analytical and critical thinking skills to apply them in a variety of scenarios. The RAC-Drugs exam covers regulations pertaining to pharmaceutical and biologic products, while the RAC-Devices exam covers regulations governing medical devices and technology.
“On behalf of RAPS, I offer my sincere congratulations to the professionals who passed these challenging exams,” said RAPS Executive Director Bill McMoil. “Earning a RAC credential is a big milestone in your regulatory career, as it signals to employers, clients and colleagues that you are knowledgeable, capable and committed to regulatory excellence.”
“Congratulations to our new RAC credential holders for earning these globally recognized certifications,” said RAPS Credentialing & Professional Development Director Jennifer Naughton. “RAC credential holders are recognized and respected globally. Their presence within an organization and as independent consultants provides deep reassurance to employers, peers, and the public.”
To maintain their credential, RAC holders must recertify every three years by demonstrating continuous learning, professional development, regulatory leadership, and an ongoing commitment to the profession. Click here to learn more about RAC recertification.
