A steep learning curve
With a background as a biomedical scientist, Ridhirama Bhuwania didn’t know much about regulatory strategies beforehand.
“I applied to the course out of personal interest and a wish for personal development, but it has also given me some great tools for my further career. If I ever want to go into a leadership role, this course will be really helpful for me, since it allows me to better understand how market access and regulatory affairs interact with each other.”
“With a greater knowledge of the what’s, why’s and how’s, I feel much more well equipped for a future in regulatory affairs and strategies. In the pharma industry, it’s important to understand how every part of the chain contributes to the processes that the products go through,” she says.
Ridhirama Bhuwania especially compliments the structure and the teachers of the course;
“I liked how the course started with an overview and the basics of the subject, and then quickly moved deeper into each and every topic of regulatory strategy. With great speakers, group assignments and workshops, the interactive learning environment made for a very steep learning curve,” she says.
“If you have a personal interest in the bigger picture of regulatory affairs and its functions, I would definitely recommend this course.”
