If you have a bachelors degree there are several post graduate masters programs and certificate programs out there. These programs are a great way to get a well paying regulatory affairs postion in any company. These programs are listed on the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society's website www.raps.org.

Hello, I have a bachelor of science and wish to get into regulatory affairs careers, would a masters of science be needed at all if there is a post graduate program for RA.

It is a good credential to have if you have no working experience in regulatory affairs. I also have a bachelor of science degree and find it hard to get into the field without previous experience. It will give you a lead up on the rest of the job market.

The online classes are great and so are the face to face courses. The only bad news is that they are only good for post certification points towards re-certification with RAPS. I highly recommend them for studying for the RAC exams.

Do people with a PhD in biomedical sciences have any edge over others?
Thanks in advance!

Canadian RA professional in Mississauga, Ontario

How easy is it for a Canadian RA professional to relocate to the US? Do US companies routinely hire foreign RA professionals? Would I qualify for TN status or require other work visa?

Hey, anyone applied to Health Canada for RA or Inspector positions lately? They are recruiting a whole bunch (80 RA and 40 inspector positions), and I just wrote my first assessment through a third-party testing agency called EPSI. I wanted to know if anyone knows about HC's hiring process, applicants:position ratio, timeline for the hiring process, job prospects, etc.

I am writing because I have an interview for a Regulatory Specialist position. Are there any tips that someone can give me on familiarization of regulatory documents and maybe some of the nuances of the job that wouldn't otherwise be known?

Thanks you,

Man on Mission
