Who are we?


Welcome to the new website for the Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board. Please understand that this site is currently being beta-tested. We anticipate finding computer glitches and will be undertaking a full review of comments and input at the end of December 2008. We will be revising the site as appropriate over the Christmas-New Year holiday break. We welcome your comments and suggestions. Please send these to omb@ucalgary.ca. Urgent issues can be addressed in the interim by calling the office at 403-220-7990.

The website was constructed by Stan Godlovitch, Department of Community Health Sciences. We acknowledge and thank him for the time, knowledge and patience he put into its design and development.

The Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board is administered through the Office of Medical Bioethics. The Office of Medical Bioethics is part of the Faculty of Medicine and cooperates with the Clinical Ethics Group to constitute the Calgary Health Ethics Services. The Office provides administrative and academic services related to research ethics review process and procedures and to human healthcare ethics. In addition the faculty engage in teaching, supervision and consultations related to health ethics and health law.

For the health research community the Office is best known for the administrative functions on behalf of the Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board.

For the general academic community it is known for its academic pedagogy in the realm of bioethics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. As well as experienced professional administrators for the CHREB functions, the office consists of academic staff with expertise from areas of medicine, law, nursing, and psychology.
