How can we provide effective training for research ethics committee members? A European assessment
Abstract
Training for members of research ethics committees (RECs) varies from state to state in Europe. To follow this up, the European Forum for Good Clinical Practice organised a workshop in March 2007 to explore these issues and look for solutions. This article summarises the discussion, providing ways forward to develop REC training.
