RAPS Webcast: Get Your FRA Now: Two New Industry Credentials from RAPS!

Are you an early-career professional or a transitioning career professional?  Do you want to prove your foundational knowledge in regulatory affairs? Is it too early to earn your RAC?

If yes, the new Foundation in Regulatory Affairs (FRA) credential from RAPS may be for you. Attend this free webcast to identify whether the FRA is right for you and how to get started.

Be among the first to earn your FRA. There are two credentials available: FRA-Introduction to Medical Devices and FRA-Introduction to Pharmaceuticals. These credentials are earned by passing an exam to prove you have important regulatory knowledge that is foundational to a career in regulatory affairs. It’s the only RAPS assessment-based credential that has no regulatory experience requirement.
