GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences has recently established a regulatory affairs program.

One of the main goals is to prepare graduates to meet the challenges of dealing with FDA regulated products. The program is dedicated to preparing and fostering the next generation of international regulatory leaders. In line with a commitment to continuous improvement, the program formed a permanent advisory board. The board will provide a perspective from different facets of the drug and device industries, and create networks for students and graduates.
