Clinical trials and study subject protections present challenges as we attempt to address bioethical situations encountered in an ever changing context. We stand at the intersection of evolving science, technology, globalization, and societal perspectives. This session will address emerging topics in the field of bioethics, with a particular focus on those that involve clinical research. The objective is to familiarize you with some difficult challenges and dynamic tensions that exist within the realm of human subject research, and how you may use this understanding to better inform the concepts embodied in protocols and strategic documents.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Describe some of the challenges embodied in contemporary clinical research
  • Discuss concepts and considerations in the development of clinical programs and associated documents
