My Mission of Making People Healthier and Happier

The focus of modern business and health care is growing more global each day. At the same time, growth has come hand in hand with increased regulations. In my current position as an Entrepreneur in health and wellness products field, I feel it is especially critical for me to gain a more profound knowledge of the regulations and regulatory agencies that have become so important in the industry. As a candidate for MS study in Regulatory Affairs at Northestern University, I am eager to expand my knowledge, and excited about the mission of making people healthier and happier using these emerging technologies.

Over the past several years, my career goals have aimed squarely in the pharmaceutical field. Most importantly, I have worked as Clinical data co-ordinator at a North American technology giant ,Quintiles research PVT LTD (Currently know as IQVIA) for couple of years, where I was hired for full time right after my paid internship. Being one amongst worlds’ leader in clinical research and fortune 500 company, it helped me gain the vital knowledge of federal regulations and industry exposure right after my studies. This professional experience was enough to make me competent for both within and outside the clinical research sector and be a part of local and global healthcare industry. Additionally, I have studied till masters in Pharmacy which has given profound foundation knowledge in Pharmacology and fundamentals of medicines and health care products. I felt it was crucial for me to gain a solid understanding of the medicines and healthcare products underlying the industry's manufacturing activities. Encouragingly, I have been able to apply the knowledge I gained in these theoretical exposures in my current profession too.

Healthcare industry has always been updating with the ever changing implementations of laws and regulations. This makes it more essential for me to upgrade the optimum knowledge to excel in the futuristic workplace of tomorrow. As one need to have a perfect blend of theoretical study and practical experience, I feel this course is perfect match for me.

During and after my studies in Pharmacy, I had taken several trainings and workshops on Pharmaceutical manufacturing, Research methodology and most importantly Good clinical practice. Along with the professional experience as a retail pharmacist it was enough to lead me for my entrepreneurial goal to start my enterprise to trade health and wellness products on well known Indian ecommerce platforms and thus to directly engage with day to day end-user experience.

I want to be a competent part of this exiting and the future race to create a more scientifically advanced tomorrow by enhancing my knowledge further. That is why I envision MS in Regulatory affairs as a path towards my advancement in this direction to explore more practical expects of it in healthcare.

The main reason to be the part of Northeastern University is that master study in age old reputed University such as yours will help a person like me to get in-depth knowledge in the field of my interest. Secondary, studying under experts is the most effective method of transforming a student which has better exposure to healthcare. As the curriculum also emphasizes more on Experiential Learning to acquire hands-on experience through in-the-field research with employers and sound network of alumni from reputed companies.

Last but not the least with University’s comprehensive facilities and experts, will be an ideal place for me to pursue my studies.

I have completed my secondary and higher secondary education from Gujarat Board. During my graduation and post graduation both I have achieved Ist Grade which helped me secure paid internship at even a month before I completed my Masters.

It is a bitter truth, in my home country the courses are theoretical and are limited to indigenous markets and conditions; to evolve in this competitive world the current level of knowledge is not satisfactory. Hence, to fill up this gap of the hands-on experience that facilitates implication of theory, I perceive to study in Canada with Master of Regulatory affairs at Northeastern University. The main catch for me was to discover the length and width of product development the field which is way beyond my imagination and knowledge. Also the education and experience I had so far is limited to the endemic markets and conditions in my provisional. Studying this course is not to add a feather to my cap but is most essential for my further senior level employment and entrepreneurial growth in the field of health care.

I have examined the course catalogue of the college and found it to be very satisfying. I strongly believe that Canada has a well rounded education system which will help me to upgrade my knowledge and skill with most valuable international exposure.

Given the spread and importance of better technology in healthcare, there is a great demand for good regulatory knowledge in India, both in government and private sectors. The gap between the demand for and supply of able professionals is significant and given the current market trends, the demand is expected to increase further drastically. My aim is to excel in health and Biotech domain by gaining substantial exposure to corporate life which includes a higher position in big wigs such as Biocon, Cognizant, Tata Consultancy services (TCS), Novartis and many others and implementing the knowledge in my entrepreneurial establishment. The education at Northeastern University will be the logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my goals. I would be obliged if you provide me with this opportunity.
