Making a Difference.
The AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative is a joint venture established in 2022 between the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) and the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS).
About
We are the AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative, and we invite you to partner with us to make a difference.
Continuing and expanding upon Xavier Health’s legacy, the Collaborative supports idea-sharing, innovation, and action across the global healthcare products community by fostering purpose-driven discussions between regulators, industry, academia, and thought leaders about the most pressing issues facing the industry.
Program Development
At the AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative, the program for events like MedCon and the Combination Products Summit is thoughtfully curated by each event’s Strategic Committee. These dedicated groups of volunteers ensure the content is relevant, impactful, and aligns with the needs of the medical device and combination products community.
