Course Overview

The pharmaceutical industry is financially strong and growing and developing rapidly. At all times, the industry needs to be able to recruit a sufficient number of professionals with a focused background in the new upcoming domains of pharmaceutical sciences apart from traditional pharmacy knowledge like regulatory affairs, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance etc. Regulatory affairs (RA), also called government affairs, is a profession within regulated industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, agrochemicals (plant protection products and fertilizers), energy, banking, telecom etc. Regulatory affairs also has a very specific meaning within the healthcare industries (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biologics and functional foods). Regulatory Affairs is the area with a broad overview and the responsibility for collecting all data from the development processes and sending it to regulatory authorities where the trained people in regulatory affairs are required. The development of new drugs and medicinal products is a long and complicated process that starts with the glimmer of a new idea and ends with the effective marketing of a finished product i.e. the success is dependent on the approval by the authorities.

The regulatory function in healthcare industries is vital in making safe and effective healthcare products available worldwide. Individuals who ensure regulatory compliance and prepare submissions, as well as those whose main job function is clinical affairs or quality assurance are all considered regulatory professionals. The most significant responsibility of a Regulatory professional in an export company is to get a product successfully registered and approved by the Health Agency of the country like FDA for USA or EMA for Europe.
