    Hi, 
    I have a question for you about my future career in regulatory. I have Ph.D. in engineering with a strong background in pharmaceuticals and medical device preparation. I decided to enter into regulatory fields and completed Pharmaceuticals (Oct 2017 ) as well as Medical Devices (Dec 2018) programs. I have no experience in regulatory so I have to apply for intern/entry-level of a specialist position. However, I could not find any positions for QA or QC Specialist or even Auditing. But there are some positions for QC technician. Do you think it is a good idea to apply for a technician position and after 1-2 years experience, I apply for a specialist one?
    How can I find an internship in regulatory fields? I live in Vancouver.
