Introduction to Health Research Ethics
Posted 2 years ago by Universiti Malaya
Learn everything biomedical investigators need to know about research ethics
However groundbreaking biomedical research is, it should never come at the price of subjects’ health, privacy, or other rights. This three-week course offers practical insights, to make sure that it never does.
Funded by Universiti Malaya Medical Centre’s Medical Research Ethics Committee, the course will help you ensure human subjects are protected as you conduct important research.
Unpack research ethics fundamentals
The course gives you an excellent foundation in research ethics, explaining the three basic principles of ethical research, and giving you the opportunity into both the pros and cons of using human subjects.
You’ll also learn about research design, protocols, data management, and reviews, which are all important in ensuring not only a study’s success, but also its ethics committee approval.
Get practical experience conducting ethical research
After developing your knowledge on responsible biomedical research, you’ll have the chance to practice your skills with case studies and realistic exercises.
Informed consent, participant selection, risk-benefit analysis, confidentiality, scientific rigour, and data integrity are all covered in the materials.
You’ll also explore how conflicts of interest and adverse events are handled. This knowledge will prepare you to conduct effective, ethical research in any situation.
Learn from biomedical research experts
Universiti Malaya is a top-ranked institution, and its Medical Centre is Malaysia’s oldest teaching hospital. At the same time, its rigorous Medical Research Ethics Committee oversees the research design and execution of many national and international projects. With both experience and expertise, the University is able to offer a course of the highest calibre.
This course is designed for individuals conducting health and biomedical studies. All researchers will benefit, but those who are new and unfamiliar with research design and applying for ethics clearance will find it especially useful.
