PHAR 615 PSC ETHICS AND BIOSTATISTICS

Recent decades have seen examples of challenges to ethics in scientific research. With the goal of providing complete and contemporary training in research, this course exposes students to acceptable and unacceptable ethical behaviors. To help students understand the issues and to aid in discussions, this course is heavily case-based. Students gain training in appropriate experimental design, and in ways of conducting experiments and analyzing data. Students also learn to identify ethical issues in a practical sense by critical review of manuscripts. This course is offered to graduate students (MS and PhD) and to Pharmacy (PharmD) students. Knowledge gained in the course is considered an integral component of students' research training in pharmaceutical sciences.
