This workshop series is a comprehensive overview of regulatory requirements for development, manufacture, marketing and compliance for drug and biological human medicines in the US, EU, and other countries. It is especially useful for those studying for the RAC or FRA certification exams in pharmaceuticals, 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.
Registration enables you to view the recordings of all the workshop sessions.
Series ran Tuesday evenings from June 3-September 30, 2025, 6-8 pm (US Eastern time). NCRAF has offered this series annually since some time in the prior millenium. Seriously.
