I want to ask, in this present day and digital age, is it worth it going for a masters degree when you can earn a similar certification at a subsidized fee online, for instance I heard of someone earning a certificate of management in healthcare and someone going for a Masters in Health mangement...both earning Same salary currently, if you can learn everything from your own comfort with a school in my opinion. So is it worth it.

I immediately subscribed. I've worked in both the food & pharma industry in regulatory and your channel is really helping me gauge this space of how to advance further with my BS degree.

Very nice information provided. Was looking for something like this.

Any tips/suggestions I have strong legal/compliance background MBA graduate (2018). I’d like to pivot to a different arena in compliance I’ve been doing it for about a one year in the school system and the pay sucks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated please and thanks ☺.

[@natalieb4928]

😊great info! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea there was a certificate associated directly with RA.

[@kyyahabdul]

Yes! Its definitely something employers respect

[@Md.HamidurRahman-d7j]

Hi Kyyah, could you please refer to the books to prepare for RAC exam. Also if you would like to suggest any the mock tests ?

[@AnthonyCalabro]

I will say, getting into RA immediately after a bachelors without having any experience in RA or at least experience in R&D or QA, is very hard considering most positions for RA say 5+ years in industry.. I got my BS in Chem, did some internships in Pharma and IVDs, got my MS in Regulatory Affairs in 2020, and got a level 3 job in RA right after. Only 2 years in industry, multiple 510(k) submissions, and working with international colleagues, I'm planning to take the RAC fall 2023, hopefully it goes well- still nervous though.

[@kyyahabdul]

That’s as of now and I personally think it’s because more PharmDs are leaving retail and coming into R&D so getting into Regs is more of a challenege for ppl with a Bachelors and no R&D experience. Nonetheless it’s not impossible in any regard. I’ve seen many times: people enter as a fresh graduate with some adjacent experience. Im glad you’re enjoying your time in regulatory though! And med device is such a promising path. I keep saying anyone with med device experience it’s going to be favored in the coming decades.

[@metformin365]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! What do you think about the e Regulatory Affairs Certificate Program offered by the RAPS? Would that help to have that Certificate to land a entry pharma job?

[@kikiignatiadis9212]

If I am coming from a cmc analytical development track for 8 years will I not be able to sit for the RAC exam? Because I’m having an impossible time getting the experience to transition into RA because I guess there’s no such thing as transferable skills anymore? I don’t want to be in the lab anymore so I’m feeling so frustrated

[@mayalm3175]

Thank you for this video. I am currently working in the medical device industry, and I am interested in Regulatory Affairs. I have no experience in Regulatory Affairs; however, I am working on a masters in Biotechnology with a specialization in Regulatory Affairs. Is there any advice you can offer that may help as far as getting into the field and being successful?

[@mayalm3175]

Hello, I have experice in RA outside the US. I coudn't get one position in this field despite my education in Pharmacy and more than 10 years of experience. I'm thinking now to start my career in RA here in the US with the Regulatory Affairs Certificate: Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals in the RAPS. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

[@Seansyy62]

Hi! I’m doing my masters in public health and community medicine. So your saying it’s possible to enter regulatory affairs without a masters in ra? There’s a lot of life science companies where I live such as Edwards life science, kite pharma, and Gilead. I was hoping to get involved in these companies through internships.

[@OakLaura]

Thanks for the advice. Can you talk about the differences between working with a consulting group and pharma industry? I received a proposal as an intern in a regulatory consulting group (medical devices), but I don't know if the careers opportunities are good. Especially because is an international role, and I live in Brazil.

[@harshitamittal8539]

Hey exactly same situation here I'm going to start my job from 1st June at a consulting group the thing is that we have to REMOVE the tag of freshers from us to break into regulatory affairs . Once you get the experience you can show that exp on resume and you will be able to apply at pharma companies both at national and international level

You should explore job opportunities in RA, and can switch. I don’t think spending a lot on RAC would help you better then exploring the LinkedIn

What exactly constitutes regulatory experience? Do i actually have to have the job title of RA or can I have job experience that is more RA adjacent? I have BS in Chem, 5 years experience as a Heath and Safety Compliance officer, and I have been an Analytical Researcher in pharm for 6 years. I write protocols and reports all the time, I work with the QC and QA departments frequently. Does this count as Regulatory experience @careersavage

[@Life_Of_Sunidhi]

It’s an amazing video and information provided! I would to further know if I need to undertake a certificate course, would it better to go for Dual certificate in a pharma/med device from RAPS or a course offered by canadian colleges like Seneca or Humber? your answer will be highly appreciated! thanks
