Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 17, 2014 -- Quorum Review IRB, the industry leader in central IRB services, announces its reaccreditation by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP).
Quorum Review IRB first received AAHRPP accreditation in 2006.

Accredited organizations include community and teaching hospitals; universities; independent and institutional review boards; research institutes and contract research organizations.
“This achievement is the culmination of more than 20 years of continued dedication to Human Subjects Protection by this organization and its staff,” said Cami Gearhart, JD, Quorum Review IRB’s Chief Executive Officer.
As part of the reaccreditation effort, Quorum presented the professional education webinar “Understanding Reporting Obligations to the IRB”, which was attended by nearly 2,000 clinical trials professionals. The webinar, presented by Mitchell E.
