RA Alumni Asia Pacific is established on 18 June, 2013 !
It is my pleasure on behalf of RA Alumni Asia Pacific to introduce you who we are.
With the support and help, driven by Prof. Jack Wong, the RA Alumni Asia Pacific was created on 18 June, 2013 with different RA professional from Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong including Universities (Nanyang Technological University, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and National Taipei University of Technology), Hospital (KK Woman’s and Children Hospital), and Consultant companies (Qualtech Consulting Corporation).*
RA Alumni is part of Asia Regulatory Professional Association which aims to raise the standard and social recognition of Regulatory Professionals as part of healthcare team.
In Asia Pacific region, Regulatory standards are diversified among countries. We have about 23 different countries within Asia Pacific, within that they have their own standards such as CFDA from China, KFDA from Korea, TFDA from Taiwan, TGA from Australia, etc.
Therefore, RA Alumni Asia Pacific is a platform for students who completed the RA course. We offered linkage for Regulatory related professional and expertise together, by providing field updated knowledge, networking, working and learning opportunity. Besides internal activities, we will also organize external activities such as participation in International RA meeting, and Student Awards to appreciate students who work hard and put their effort on learning Regulatory in University.
This is especially important for students who just completed the RA course and are looking for interest in RA field.
Our memberships includes Basic member who completed ARPA RA courses and Certified member who completed ARPA RA courses and passed the ARPA exam. This is completely free of charge to join us right now and we will keep you updated information by providing updated articles.
