Health Sector Regulatory Compliance


Ontario Graduate Certificate


Program Code: HS511

Campus: Online

Length: 3 semesters

In Humber’s Health Sector Regulatory Compliance graduate certificate, you will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to audit product development, manufacturing and supply chain processes. This program helps students determine facility operational compliance compared to regulations and standards to minimize health and business risks.

Students will demonstrate core competencies required of compliance staff who monitor the quality and safety of various products and business processes including, pharmaceuticals; medical devices; biological and genetic therapies; natural health, agriculture, and food products; cosmetics and toiletries; and cannabis products.

Program Delivery: This three-consecutive-semester program starts in January, and classes continue throughout the summer semester. Courses are offered via a blend of self-directed online modules and synchronous online classes. A work placement occurs in Semester 3 and is in-person.

This program is not available to international applicants.

Following two academic semesters, students complete a three-month (450 hours) paid or unpaid in which students apply and integrate theoretical knowledge and skills into real-world work settings. Students complement their learning in their placement, and assessments are carried out by assigned supervisors at the placement site. 

While Humber does assist students in finding their field experience by working with industry partners and identifying openings, students are responsible for finding their own field experience that is aligned with the learning outcomes of the program. Students are encouraged to find a field experience in their area of interest such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, natural health and food products, cosmetics, or cannabis.
