Enhanced Ethics Training

Objective
As part of the renewed grant, the program has incorporated a new ethics training component. The purpose of this is to expand the students’ knowledge in research integrity and research ethics issues and to address the growing demand for expertise in research ethics.
As part of this enhanced training, students are encouraged to learn more about research ethics, to integrate some ethical analysis of the challenges facing the health care system in their work, and to consult with key mentors who will equip them with enhanced training in this area.

Training Opportunities

During the training year students will have access to:
• A research ethics mentor who can address queries or direct students to appropriate resources available within their perspective universities
• A presentation during the Annual Boot Camp entitled: Intersections of Health Law and Ethics
• Presentations at the different program events with a strong ethics focus

Expectations
Additionally students are expected to conduct an online Introductory Tutorial of the Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS). Students are to submit a copy of their certificate of completion to the program within 3 months from the start of the program.

The online training tutorial is available at http://pre.ethics.gc.ca/english/tutorial/.

Further information regarding the TCPS, can be found at: http://pre.ethics.gc.ca/eng/policy-politique/tcps-eptc/
