I finished the RAC US 2009 fall exam this morning and want to share
with you my experience. I started to pursue the certificate after
reading the informative and inspiring posts from baobio (bao-bio) at
mitbbs.com. I took the advice in one of his posts - an excellent guide
to RAC US preparation. Please click on the link below to read about
his insightful opinions.

After taking my exam, I wish I should have done better with all the
following points in preparing for it.

* Know as much as possible about QSR (part 820), cGMP (part 210-211),
510(k)
* PAS (Prior-approval supplements), CBE (Changes Being Effected
supplement), CBE-30
* Significant dates (safety report, record retention, response or
effective date)
* What to lead to a clinical hold and how to do with it
* Submission requirements in details: 510(k), PMA, IND/IDE, NDA/BLA/
ANDA, orphan status/HDE
* Meetings with FDA
* Sponsor, IRB, investigator responsibilities
* Recalls
* Differences between misbranding and adulteration (Not meeting the 510
(k) requirements is considered to be misbranded NOT adulterated)
* Adverse event reporting (when, how)
* Establishment registration (who, how)
* FDA inspections (when, forms, what to inspect)
* Environmental assessment
* ANDA (certification, patent infringement)
* Differences between drug labeling and advertising (the brief summary
requirement, reminder advertising)

I am trying to provide as accurate information as possible but there
might be some errors. Please feel free to comment.

Good luck to you all with the exams.
