About the course: The course curriculum has a legacy of 15 years to which a number of scholars including those trained in bioethics have contributed. Over time they developed research ethics case studies from the Indian context. These serve as one of the key resources for the course. Because these are live sessions (and not pre-recorded), content of each session is carefully curated to cover contemporary issues and ethical dilemmas building on the most recent scholarship in the concerned thematics.
The course aims to equip course participants with knowledge and skills in research ethics. They would serve on significant human resources to take the learnings to their own ecosystem and facilitate knowledge transfer in research ethics.
This ethics training would help to develop an ability to use moral judgment. This training is aimed at enabling public health students and researchers; and public health practitioners to apply public health ethics frameworks and principles to reason out new, difficult, or ambiguous cases/situations/scenarios toward resolving the issue at hand in morally discerning ways.
