RAPS runs this free, one-hour live webcast to help regulatory affairs professionals decide whether the Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) is worth pursuing, and how to start if it is — live , 12–1 p.m. ET.
Date and format
- Date: 9 September 2026, 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET
- Format: live webcast, virtual
- Cost: free, per RAPS's own event page
- Organizer: Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS)
What it covers
The session walks through whether the RAC — offered in RAC-Drugs and RAC-Devices tracks — fits where you are in a regulatory affairs career, what earning it actually requires, and how to leave the hour with a concrete plan rather than a general impression. RAPS's own marketing for the credential cites a pay premium for RAC holders over non-credentialed peers; that figure comes from RAPS's own research and is noted here as their claim, not independently confirmed.
Who should attend
RAPS aims this at regulatory affairs professionals in the healthcare products sector — drugs, devices, biologics and combination products — with roughly three or more years of regulatory-related experience who are weighing certification against the time and study it takes to earn. It is a decision session, not an exam-prep course.
RAPS's flagship event lands the same month — RAPS Convergence 2026 runs 15-17 September in Charlotte. The full events directory lists everything we have verified.
