2024 Workshops

NCRAF's 2024 workshop series is a comprehensive overview of regulatory requirements for development, manufacture, marketing and compliance for drug and biological human medicines and medical devices in the US, EU, and other countries. It is especially useful for those studying for the RAC certification exams in these areas, but also is valuable for anyone interested in learning more about WHY the industry operates as it does. Each session in the series features a lecturer with relevant industry or other "field" experience to illustrate the concepts discussed.

We have grouped the pre-recorded lectures into "chapters" of related topics, and will hold monthly (live via Zoom) Q/A sessions with a subset of the instructors from June through Sept. or October (2024). Each Q/A session will be focused on the topics covered in a different “chapter”. 

Sessions will be by Zoom (only) and the Zoom link is in the registration confirmation email.
