Student Testimonial - Oindrilla C
Name: Oindrilla C
Program: Health Sector Regulatory Compliance
Why did you choose Humber College?
I chose Humber College because it is the first program of its kind in that it gives you a deep dive into regulatory compliance in the health care sector from pharmaceuticals to food. The combination of courses is unique and not found in any other school combining ethics, auditing, risk management, supply chain and continuous improvement. Furthermore, I had received positive feedback about the College from previous alumni in similar programs like Clinical Research and Regulatory Affairs.
What are your career aspirations?
I strive to gain more experience in quality assurance and compliance in various companies, importers, manufacturers and consulting firms, while building new relationships. Ideally, I would like to slowly grow into senior roles leading supplier and internal audits and running continuous improvement projects. Following that, I hope to use the experiences I gained to start a consulting firm working as an independent consultant.
How have the faculty helped you on your road to reaching your goals?
The faculty has been extremely helpful in terms of completing the program and gaining my first internship. They provided me with many resources and tools to be successful such as jobs search tips, resume and LinkedIn profile creation, detailed feedback on assignments, clarifying expectations regarding assignments, relating assignments to the real world, inviting industry speakers, and enlightening us on industry trends that might dominate the future, and potential career paths (Six Sigma Professions, ASQ certified auditor).
What would you say has been the single best learning experience in the program you are in?
I enjoyed our independent study class where we got to see how various regulations, process mapping, risk assessment and management tools were used to solve different challenges by students interested in different industries.
What elements of the program are best preparing you for your career?
- Simulated Audits, ethical challenges, exchange between different stakeholders
- Process Mapping, Risk Assessment and Risk Management tools
- Navigating and critically interpreting acts, regulations, and guidance documents
- Introduction to Supply Chain and their role in quality
Would you recommend this program to others and why?
Yes, I would recommend this program to anybody who has experience in the health care sector and is looking to play a more active or integral role in a company’s operations. This program helps graduates develop the mindset required for companies to improve their operations and comply with law and ensure the safety and well-being of their consumers as well as their reputation among their customers for example the brand manager of a product made by a contract development and manufacturing organization.
