The Graduate Certificate in Medical Device Regulatory Affairs allows students to gain a detailed knowledge of the regulations influencing the commercialization of new and existing medical devices. The intensely practical curriculum spans the entire product development life cycle and introduces students to the salient features governing both pre- and postapproval stages. Students have the opportunity to take specialized courses on regulatory systems outside the United States and examine regulatory agencies' relationship with the medical device industry.
This certificate is ideal for students already working in the regulatory industry, coming from bioengineering, quality control/assurance, intellectual property, business, marketing, and those just entering the profession.
