Clinical Exemption

Meaning

Clinical exemption refers to a formal, documented determination that a specific individual is medically unsuitable to participate in a particular aspect of a wellness or research program. This determination is based on existing contraindications, diagnosed health conditions, or current therapeutic regimens that pose a quantifiable risk to the participant. The exemption ensures patient safety by preventing participation that could exacerbate a pre-existing condition or interfere with established medical treatment. This necessary process requires a thorough review of the patient’s medical history and current clinical status by a qualified healthcare provider.
