BMSC 6101 Responsible Conduct

1 SCH. This course will build on the principles introduced in BMSC 5160 and address the issues and dilemmas encountered by scientists conducting research. Using both presentations and case studies designed to foster class discussion, students will be required to use critical thinking as they integrate personal and professional ethical standards and apply them to the cases. Cases of scientific misconduct will be presented just as they appear in the NIH Guide and the headlines of the news. Students will work in small groups throughout the course. Issues of Professionalism and Mentoring including discrimination and harassment will be covered in this course; issues unique to genomics research; scientific rigor and reproducibility. The need for and how to create diversity, equity and inclusion in biomedical research will also be discussed.
