Feature Student
Sohini Sarkar, Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist, ThermaSolutions
Master's Regulatory Affairs student from Bangalore, India who currently resides in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. A unique fact about Sohini, she has had the privilege of playing Golf at an elevation of 2,650 m/8,690 ft above sea level at the highest green golf course in the world, the Gulmarg golf course overlooking the Himalayas mountains.

She gives credit for her program success to Cathy Krier, RAS Program Director. The internship program allowed access to the company which transitioned to a full-time position at ThermaSolutions.

A favorite from her study tenure at Plymouth was the 510 (k) project - NeuroPort where we presented a mock 510 (k) submission. It was as close to reality as one could get.

When asked what she got out of the program: "Coming from the Pharmaceutical industry, the RAS program at SCSU trained me on the core fundamentals of regulatory in the Medical Device industry. The course work allowed me to implement the classroom activities in real-time industry situations."

When asked how the skills learned in the program benefit daily professional activities she replied: "After being in the Pharma industry for over 10 years, the migration to Medical Device was smooth. The faculty included case-studies in the curriculum which allowed insights on how to implement regulatory compliance. Projects aided the development of strategy, effective implementation of change scenarios, identifying risk and development of an appropriate mitigation plan, and how to work with the team cohesively." 

She has facilitated ongoing relationships with colleagues and faculty to keep learning and growing in the profession. "The Regulatory community in the Twin-Cities is a tight-knit community. I am currently associated with SCSU's MedTech student group ENQR that has allowed me to be in touch with my peers and other industry professionals. Through the RAS program, I had the opportunity to be associated with the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society (RAPS) which allowed me to grow my professional network. My association with the group allowed me to work on several RAPS in-house programs. I recently completed my task as a technical contributor for one of RAPS programs."

Finally, Sohini added one unique aspect of SCSU's MedTech programs is that the faculty group is always available to answer your queries- technical as well as non-technical. My continued association with SCSU has been an enriching one."
