ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) congratulates the 192 regulatory professionals who earned Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) during the recent spring 2017 exam period.

Currently, there are more than 4,500 RAC-credentialed professionals around the world.
