    To have enough credits for recertification, I attend a conference (virtual, or in-person) annually, go to RAPS chapter events, watch for FDA conferences, and document every relevant class at work. I take notes and include the date, amount of time, and the speaker. I make sure I don't include any of my company's sensitive information in my notes, in case I need to show them to someone.

    Hi

    I recommend attending online webinars, conferences, workshops and other education sessions.  Make sure to save the certificate as proof of your attendance.  Sometimes, these certificates have the number of credits, and some don't but write it down.    ​

    Good luck.

    Hi Yvette,

    Already good advice provided by Barbara and Karen about attending webinars, conferences, or other educational items; there are quite a few free events out there (maybe on positive out of the pandemic).  RAPS has a dedicated section for Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) which has a number of sources which can be used.  I wanted to post because indeed keeping record of attending events or even a short summary is helpful.  Through the RAPS Learning Portal if you attend events, a code can be entered there which is linked to your profile.  However, myself I keep a simple Excel spreadsheet with the event, who hosted/provided, date, length of event, and then a short summary and/or certificate of completion.  I keep my own record of this just in case I can not access online, but also helps keep track of other certifications, i.e. TOPRA, ASQ.
