Prior to commencing research involving human subjects at Providence Health Care, researchers are required to be in possession of two separate certificates of approval before research may begin at Providence Health Care.
These are:
Certificate of Ethical Approval - signed by the UBC PHC REB Chair or Associate Chair
Providence Health Care Institutional Certificate of Final Approval - signed by the PHC VP of Research and Academic Affairs
The Providence Health Care Research Institute is currently developing a guidance booklet for whom to contact to obtain hospital department and services approvals required before research may start.
In the interim, please contact the following individuals to obtain hospital approvals. Approvals should be forwarded, by mail or email to:
Qaiser Fahim
Ethics Review Coordinator
