NUS & RAPS Launch Regulatory Certification Program

The Medical Devices Regulatory Affairs (MDRA) program is intended to prepare regulatory professionals to meet the expected high demand as the industry gains momentum.

AsianScientist (Jun 13, 2014) – The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have officially launched their joint Graduate Certificate in Medical Devices Regulatory Affairs (MDRA) program. The program is intended for Singapore-based regulatory professionals, and was developed in partnership with the government of Singapore to cultivate an industry-ready regulatory workforce.

“This program will be the first to offer instruction specifically designed to develop the medical device regulatory knowledge that is in high demand by the global companies located in Singapore,” said RAPS executive director Dr. Sherry Keramidas.

The MDRA program builds the foundational knowledge, critical thinking and application skills required of regulatory professionals. The curriculum will be delivered through a combination of online training, interactive seminars, peer interaction and case-based learning, and will cover regulations of ASEAN nations, China, the Asia-Pacific region, the US and Europe.

The program draws on the teaching and research excellence of NUS’ biomedical engineering faculty and the real world expertise of RAPS’ renowned regulatory leaders from around the world.
