Clinical Research Ethics Consultation: A Timely Guide for Ethical Decision-Making

Clinical research ethics consultation has emerged as a vital service over the last 15 years, providing guidance to those navigating complex ethical dilemmas in clinical research. In response to the growing need for knowledge sharing and collaboration, the Clinical Research Ethics Consultation Collaborative (CRECC) was established in 2014. This innovative platform enables its 90 members to share their most challenging cases and engage in substantive discussions through monthly webinars.
