Week 3: Health-Related Research and Regulations How do you balance the need to advance health-related research to cure disease with the requirement to protect the patient and “do no harm”? This is the challenge at the root of all advances in health. Health researchers who are exploring new cutting-edge therapeutic procedures, developing medications, and engineering advanced medical devices are constantly working on this delicate balance. In Week 2, you were introduced to the doctrine of informed consent and the role that it plays in allowing professionals to ethically and legally treat patients. This week, you will expand on that information and consider the critically important role that informed consent plays in health-related research. You will also continue to explore how decisions are made concerning who will receive scarce and expensive medical care. Learning Objectives Students will: Analyze the components of informed consent Identify key terms and concepts related to privacy, confidentiality, and liability Identify key ethical and legal terms associated with health-related research, regulation, and the allocation of scarce healthcare resources Learning Resources Required Readings Judson, K., & Harrison, C.
