  • MEDE 581: Clinical Research Ethics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Prior course work or evidence of competency in epidemiology, statistics, and health measurement are essential. The purposes of this course are to examine the spectrum of bioethical issues encountered in the conduct of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics research and demonstrate both conceptual and empirical approaches to studying these issues. The goal of medicine is to improve the health and well-being of persons, many of whom are called patients. To achieve this goal, medicine uses scientific methods to test the efficacy of interventions. As important and essential as these methods are, this goal health reveals medicine as fundamentally an ethical enterprise and the clinical trial as an instrument of social control. Hence, while most physician scientists do not think of themselves as engaging in bioethics research, their work has inherent ethical elements. The goal of this course is to help students identify ethical issues in the design and conduct of clinical research, formulate ways to think about and plan empirical and conceptual investigations of these issues. The course examines a set of core issues in the design, conduct and translation of research results into practice. Course materials include papers or book selections that address conceptual and theoretical issues and empirical investigation of issues. As a result of taking this class, students will recognize the moral and ethical aspects of their clinical research focus. This in turn will expand their vision of the implications and value of their research and the questions they pursue.
