ICE 2008 - International Congress of Endocrinology

 

   
 

Full-Day Workshop on Ethics in Research

Enhancing Integrity in Clinical Research

For the first time, the International Congress of Endocrinology Meeting will be held in beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ICE 2008 promises to be an exciting venue for the exchange of cutting edge science. The Endocrine Society’s Advisory Panel on Ethics and Conflicts of Interest has partnered with a renowned panel of international experts to present a full day workshop about the responsible conduct of research and research ethics in the international setting. It will be presented in dynamic, interactive sessions by prominent researchers and ethicists from around the world.

 

Meeting attendees will come away from this workshop with a broader understanding of best practices in clinical research and how to navigate today’s complex regulatory environment. It will help attendees understand the key pitfalls in the design and execution of research and how best to avoid ethical errors, including research misconduct and malfeasance.

This program will be invaluable for all those involved in the research process, including medical and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, junior and senior principal investigators, hospital/institutional ethics committee members, nurse coordinators, team members of clinical research trials, residency program directors, and training grant directors.

Registration fee: $25.00
Each attendee will receive a Certificate of Attendance
