Course Information

Description

This 14 week course is organized in a highly innovative manner, designed to provide the student with a comprehensive foundation in research ethics. After taking this course, students will be prepared to manage many of the complex, real-life ethical issues that have attracted public attention in recent years, such as undue influence of research participants, concerns about therapeutic misconception and subject recruitment, concerns about social justice in the context of biomedical research, and uncertainty about new forms of biomedical research. The class will meet weekly for 3 contact hours. Each class session will be built around a critical discussion of fundamental concepts and case studies that elucidate the complex interplay of philosophical, scientific, and practical considerations that characterize the field of research ethics.
