The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) is a nonprofit organization that serves as the global professional association for individuals involved in regulating healthcare and related products, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biologics, and nutritional products. Founded in 1976, it aims to advance the regulatory profession while operating as a neutral, non-lobbying entity. RAPS provides education and training, professional standards, publications, research, knowledge sharing, networking, career development resources, and a credentialing program—the Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC)—that recognizes regulatory expertise after formal training. The organization is based in Rockville, Maryland, in the Washington, DC area, and maintains a global presence with offices in Europe and Asia as well as chapters and affiliates worldwide.

RAPS serves regulators, industry professionals, and other stakeholders seeking to navigate healthcare regulation and compliance through its global activities and resources. In 2025, it hosted Convergence 2025 in Pittsburgh, described as the largest global event for the regulatory affairs community.
