Ethics in Clinical Research

Description

Ethics in Clinical Research is an online eLearning course that covers the ethical perspectives of conducting clinical trials. The course will lay the foundation of conducting clinical research in an ethical manner and the processes, documents and guidelines that help achieve that.

The path to finding out if a new drug or treatment is safe or effective, for example, is to test it on patient volunteers. But by placing some people at risk of harm for the good of others, clinical research has the potential to exploit patient volunteers. The purpose of ethical guidelines is both to protect patient volunteers and to preserve the integrity of the science.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of Ethics in Clinical Research, covering the ethical foundations, regulatory frameworks, and practical applications essential for conducting responsible clinical studies. It explores core ethical principles, historical milestones, and international guidelines governing human subject research. Learners will gain in-depth understanding of informed consent, participant protection, and ethical decision-making across different trial phases. The course also addresses global and national regulations, including harmonization guidelines and country-specific requirements.

The program is made up of 1 module, 5 topics and 6 Quizzes.
