Do you fully understand and appreciate how the work that you do helps keep your company remain compliant with federal regulations? Would you like a well-rounded educational background necessary to work more productively and accurately in regulated industries?
Overview
Compliance to federal regulations such as those established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determine the basic working operations within regulated industries. North Hennepin Community College (NHCC) has recognized the need for all employers to have a basic understanding of these regulations and has initiated and developed a non-degree Regulatory Affairs program designed to make individuals aware of federal regulatory requirements and the impact of these requirements on their work environment and their work activities. NHCC"s program ties together the many aspects of the regulatory process in order to provide an individual with a context for their daily activities. This approach benefits the company because employees better understand how their role helps the organization remain compliant with federal regulations. The course does not train individuals in any specific form or procedure. Rather, it trains employees in the generally accepted guidelines in order for them to have a well-rounded educational background necessary to work more productively and accurately in regulated industries.
As Minnesota bioscience companies grow and mature, the need for all employees to be knowledgeable in regulatory affairs has intensified. Employees at every level of regulated industry are critical in ensuring compliance with the federal regulations that guide the activities in the FDA-regulated industries. A recent Minneapolis Star Tribune article speaks to this issue.
