Regulatory Thinking® for Industries

Culture as a leverage to competitive advantage

Even to already established companies, the introduction of new medical products constantly presents new challenges. Moreover, the optimal balancing of effective and efficient workflows as well as meeting regulatory requirements is a daily trade-off, which entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs need to cope with.  For companies, as well as for individuals, such as product and quality managers, executives, or consultants, who want to turn regulatory into a competitive advantage and therefore want to implement Regulatory Thinking® as culture in their ventures the consortium offers specific services.

In the following you can get an overview about the solutions for industries and their employees in the categories Education, Hands-on, and Auditing & Reviews of the consortium provides.

Education

Certificate of Advanced Studies Regulatory Thinking

In pharma, medicine and the medtech industry, human beings play the central role. Even if one rightfully thinks of the patient first and the attending physician second in this context, these stakeholders do not yet represent all interest groups that have a legitimate concern for healthcare products.

CAS RT is aimed at (non-)experts in the healthcare business who want to learn why it is important to know about development processes, validation instruments, alternatives in clinical trials, and different certification and reimbursement strategies for medtech, pharma, (digital) biomarkers, in-vitro diagnostics, software or AI as medical device. Participants will become generalists that are highly needed in the changing healthcare sector: Whether you’re a start-up or business leader looking to drive a business forward, a government employee looking to ensure the safety of healthcare products, a payer looking to reimburse healthcare expenses, or defining new reimbursement paths – Regulatory Thinking will teach you how to participate successfully in the healthcare business.
