REGULATING RESEARCH WITH HUMAN SUBJECTS (HLTH9517)
3 credits. Seminar.

This seminar examines the legal, ethical and public policy issues surrounding the use of human subjects in biomedical research, focusing on current controversies and efforts to reform the existing regulatory structure.  The seminar begins with a historical examination of human subject research, but the bulk of the semester is devoted to critical analysis of the current system for overseeing human subject research.  Throughout the seminar we consider how the regulatory system should take into account the changing relationship between academia, industry and government.
