Responsible Conduct of Research
EPI 201 Summer 2008 (.5 unit)
Course Director: Bernard Lo, MD
Professor of Medicine
| OBJECTIVES |
 |
Trainees learn through case discussions how to identify
and resolve common ethical dilemmas that arise in clinical research, how
research on human subjects is regulated by the federal government, and
what constitutes research misconduct. Trainees resolve the ethical considerations
involved in the research protocol they develop in the Designing
Clinical Research course. This course provides a more in-depth analysis
of research ethics than the website course required by the UCSF Committee
on Human Research.
| PREREQUISITES |
|
Possession of a MD, PhD, DDS or PharmD or equivalent doctoral
degree. Exceptions to these prerequisites may be made with the consent
of the Course Director, space permitting.
Required Assignments:
All students who have not already completed the on-line HIPAA
training for research should do so as soon as possible.
All students must complete the on-line CHR human subjects training available
at https://www.researchonline.ucsf.edu
as soon as possible. This on-line training provides an overview of the
regulations that govern human subjects research and protocols that require
CHR approval. We will not be covering this material in class, but you
will need to understand these principles to complete the course assignment.
You will need a login name and password to access the training. We will
request logins and passwords for students registered in the course. You
should receive these from the CHR or the Office of Research. If you have
completed the on-line course in the last two years, you do not have to
complete it again.
