The medical device industry, produced in tiny batches of many sorts and is technology-intensive, is attempting numerous improvements and is managed under the regulatory framework for safe use due to the convergence technologies of IT(Information Technology), NT(Nano Technology), and BT(Bio Technology). Additionally, these regulations must meet various product-specific safety and efficacy evaluation requirements, and regulations for each country are constantly evolving. In this evolving regulatory climate, supplying human resources of medical device regulatory affairs to drive projects from product planning through post-market follow-up management is becoming increasingly vital. As a result, this study offers a competency development education curriculum that can meet the needs of regulatory affairs who can digest new alterations and products. In the range of Medical Instruments, which account for a high proportion of 77 % of all domestic medical device items, products and regulatory requirements of the entire licensing cycle were analyzed by dividing them into objects that use electricity and items that do not use electricity for developing the competence of regulatory affairs. The necessary competencies for regulatory affairs were determined based on the studied needs, and the training content was organized around the requisite competencies. It was composed of Active Device Track and Non-Active Device Track after classifying the training name and course according to the training content to offer a curriculum for establishing medical device regulatory affairs competency.
