Key aspects of ethics in research involving human subjects
This is an introductory course designed for anyone interested in bioethics and health research. The overall objective is to foster critical and ethical reflection on one's own practice, the treatment of research participants, and the data they provide.
Objectives:
– To analyze the theoretical content and applied tools regarding ethics in research involving human subjects.
– To understand the main aspects that must be considered to safeguard the autonomy, confidentiality, and safety of research participants.
– To become familiar with current regulations on research ethics.

Internal training for the CIM: Vulnerability in clinical research
This proposal addresses the need for ongoing training for CIM MDP staff. It consists of two asynchronous online sessions, followed by a practical in-person session focused on the practical application of the concept of vulnerability in clinical trials. We will concentrate on assessing vulnerability and progressive autonomy in participants, possible activities for addressing it, and obtaining informed consent.
Objectives:
– To learn about the most recent theories on vulnerability related to the field of health.
– To identify and assess vulnerabilities in participants within the framework of health research processes.
– To understand and apply the concept of progressive autonomy in clinical trials with children and adolescents.
Mode: Hybrid: virtual/asynchronous and in-person practical sessions.
Duration: 2 virtual classes (45 minutes) + In-person meeting (60 minutes)

Vulnerability in clinical research: bioethical debates, regulatory frameworks, and protection strategies
In light of the recent update to the Declaration of Helsinki—and given the ongoing debates regarding vulnerability, its conceptualization, and its ethical handling in research—we propose this supplementary training course. We will explore key theoretical debates surrounding vulnerability, various assessment and protection strategies, and the relevant regulatory framework. Particular emphasis will be placed on working with children, adolescents, and persons with disabilities.
This training proposal seeks to position the bioethical dilemma as an unsettling catalyst within the learning process regarding vulnerability, the legal aspects governing human health research, and our professional conduct from a rights-based perspective.
Goals:
– Conceptualize and classify vulnerability.
– Assess vulnerability within the framework of health research processes.
– To understand the regulations governing the approach to vulnerability among participants in clinical research protocols.
– Apply a rights-based perspective in various situations and with different human groups.
Mode: Asynchronous virtual + 1 synchronous workshop session
Duration: 5 weeks. 1 virtual class per week for 4 weeks + 1 synchronous virtual workshop session.
