Research Ethics Committee
Research Ethics Committee (REC)
The Research Ethics Committee was established to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects in research activities conducted under the governance of the Hospital. The Research Ethics Committee is under the authority of the Board of Directors of the St. Mary’s Hospital.
The REC is designated under Article 21 of the Civil Code of Quebec, meaning the committee is able to review research projects involving minors or mentally incompetant adults.
