Two criteria that define the scope of the legislation

The mandatory review of medical research in the Netherlands

Welcome to the second theme in the online course regarding the legislation governing the review of medical research conducted in the Netherlands. In the first theme, we introduced the Dutch review system, including the role of an accredited Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) and the Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (in Dutch: Centrale Commissie Mensgebonden Onderzoek, or CCMO). In the first theme, we also touched upon on the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (in Dutch: Wet medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek met mensen, or WMO).
