Weldon Assistant Head of Academic Affairs, Andrew Brightman, worked diligently with multiple people at Cook Biotech and other Cook Group agencies to develop and execute a curriculum with an emphasis on practical regulatory affairs at both the initial approval and later compliance stages. The program in quality and regulatory compliance prepares students for rapid integration into regulatory affairs teams in this critical and dynamic area of biomedical engineering.

“This has been a great class. Definitely beneficial and applicable to my career. I've learned a lot and enjoyed the real world perspective integrated into the compliance requirements. I also think the distance aspect was successful. I wish I would have been able to join you for an in-class visit, but nonetheless - enjoyed the overall experience.” Distance Learning Student/Engineer
