RAPS believes in the power of mentoring and is committed to providing opportunities for seasoned professionals to engage with those new to the profession in the pharma and medical device industries. Helping to achieve this goal, the RAPS San Francisco Bay Area chapter invites you to participate in this innovative mentoring program, formatted to provide a fun and fulfilling experience for all involved. Think speed dating, except the engagement is between mentors and mentees.

How Does it Work?
We've recruited a handful of senior regulatory professionals to serve as mentors. They will be seated in stationery positions with a few empty chairs in front of them. Mentees are to sit down opposite the mentor for the opportunity to ask a few career-related questions. Every few minutes, a bell will sound, and the mentees will move on to the next mentor to ask the same, or a different set of questions.

Some potential questions and/or discussion topics for mentees to bring up are:

  • How did you end up in regulatory?
  • What skills do regulatory employers look for?
  • How can I make myself a more attractive candidate?
  • Are there any courses or training programs that you suggest?
  • How can the RAC help my career?
  • Do you have any specific suggestions on how to break into regulatory?

The rotational conversations ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to meet and interact with one another. After the interactions, a light meal will be available providing ample opportunity to continue the conversations and exchange contact information, if appropriate.

The engagement activity is hosted by the University of California Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley Extension and brought to you by the San Francisco Bay Area RAPS chapter, and is intended to promote networking opportunities in the local regulatory community.  A light meal will be available for all attendees.
