The Drug Development Certificate in the School of Pharmacy at Temple University is specifically designed for pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals who actively contribute to the drug development process or aspire to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry. This certificate is part of the School of Pharmacy’s regulatory affairs (RA) and quality assurance (QA) graduate program.
Regulations governing the pharmaceutical industry at the state, federal and global levels continue to expand and change. Quality assurance principles are the core of pharmaceutical discovery, manufacturing, clinical trials and validation processes. Familiarity with the latest trends and current practices in regulatory affairs is critical to any industry professional’s success.
The Certificate in Drug Development enables students to explore quality assurance and regulatory affairs as a prospective career path without committing to the entire master’s degree. The certificate provides the tools and information needed to understand the basis for new drug discovery; the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; and good pharmaceutical practices as they apply to the clinical, laboratory or manufacturing components of the drug development process.
Students interested in pursuing the RA and QA MS program may apply all credits earned in the Drug Development Certificate towards their graduate degree, provided they formally apply for admission to the MS program and are accepted by Temple University’s graduate school.
