Importance of personnel training and education in regulatory affairs

Sapna L Kanth

 The role of Regulatory Affairs (RA) personnel is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry. Their involvement is essential throughout any product lifecycle. RA personnel provide strategic support and direction for working within regulatory framework to expedite the development and delivery of safe and effective pharmaceutical products. Constant changes in the regulatory environment give RA personnel the scope to grow and achieve their career goals. RA professionals must continually sharpen their knowledge and skills to be effective and advance in their profession. Adequate awareness of the importance of Regulations in the healthcare industry must be engendered right from the basics. These requirements need to be incorporated at the bachelor’s level. This awareness will go a long way in influencing the way the documents are viewed and the way in which data is handled by the RA personnel. .
