Present status of ethics committees of the medical schools in Japan.

Present features and functions of ethics committees in 80 Japanese medical schools were surveyed through inquiries to those institutes by the author. Seventy nine schools have already started their own committees in each campus by the end of 1990, and the remaining one is preparing for its start in near future. The major role of the ethics committee may be said to roughly correspond to that of the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) in the USA, although a role of the hospital ethics committee has been played in addition to its proper functions in many schools. Among many problems two major drawbacks seem necessary to be removed urgently. The first one is an inappropriate composition of the committee in the majority of schools. More members from the outside of the campus, younger generations, and female reviewers should be added to the committee. The second point is the essentially closed review systems in most schools. The process of the review has not been effectively opened to the public yet, even in case in which no privacy of the patients or volunteers appears in the discussion. Several schools are preparing for opening now and the situation will be improved gradually. It was fortunate that the ethics committees in Japanese medical schools were founded by wills and efforts of members of each campus without having any suggestions, recommendations, or orders from the national government or other officials.
