Rising Phase 1 Year 2 students (Class of 2027): Watch your email this week for information on completing required human subject research modules.
Your human subject research training includes nine Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) modules, which you must complete between May 6 and July 19.
Why is human subject research so important?
Indiana University School of Medicine strongly believes medical students should be familiar with human subject research issues and requires all medical students to receive training in it. Human subject research affects every physician working with patients.
It's important to know why patients must be protected during biomedical research and understand the ethical, practical and regulatory principles involved in doing research. In addition, all practicing physicians need to know about the elements of informed consent and the oversight given to research activities by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).
