CWRU trainees acquire the values and practices of biomedical research. Generally, these involve decisions about mentoring relationships, the use of animals or human subjects, data acquisition and management, collaborative research, responsible authorship, conflict of interest, peer review, research misconduct, and the scientist as a member of society.
Trainees begin to familiarize themselves immediately with mentoring issues in discussions with the first year advisor, and from the Biomedical Graduate Student Organization.
All biomedical graduate students complete the IBMS 500 "On Being a Professional Scientist" course in the first year. In addition, "advanced ethics" courses, intended for the third or fourth year of graduate study are in place and required of candidacy level doctoral students.
Researchers have additional specific training in the use of animals or human subjects, and all protocols must be associated with approval from the IACUC or IRB as appropriate.
We encourage all trainees to take advantage of monthly seminars from the Office of Research Administration (see calendar http://ora.ra.cwru.edu/research/orc/education/onlinecalendar.cfm).
