Certificate Course in Drug Regulatory Affairs (DRA)

If you find the Drug Regulatory Affairs field challenging, well, in that case, this is the best course for you.

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the extremely regulated industries, with several government regulations to protect public health. Therefore, the important target of the pharmaceutical industry is to develop a Drug product passing the regulatory requirements. On the other hand, regulation of drug development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales involves paradoxical objectives. It must ensure that safe and effective pharmaceutical formulations reach the public quickly while concurrently protecting against ineffective/unsafe/harmful therapies. Drug Regulatory authorities ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of all pharmaceuticals that are in circulation in their country. The major challenge for the regulatory expert is to make sure that the pharmaceuticals are developed as per regulatory requirements of that country which involves the assessment of critical factors during the Drug product development. The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) is one of the most regulated agencies wherein the Drug submission process is very strenuous and complicated. Understanding the crucial points in the Drug registration procedure will have a considerable impact on the accomplishment of its submission strategy. This course focuses on the following points that could make a Drug registration procedure smooth without any significant delays/failures,
