This week I didn't actually go to the hospital but I was still hard at work. Dr. S asked me along with Dr. M to come with a finalized data collection sheet and I also had to complete CIT training on research ethics. I had to complete 14 reading modules and I was then quizzed at the end of each module. It was quite informative, covering topics from the ethics of genetic research to the Nuremberg trials and how the scientific community learned from the atrocities committed by Nazi scientists in that there needed to be safeguards for human test subjects. I also learned about th Tuskegee syphilis experiment, where black men were unwittingly given syphilis and then not treated even when a cure was found for the disease... Disheartening to say the least but it also gives me hope to know that systems are put in place to insure that such things never occur again.
