The Good Clinical Practice Micro-credential is designed to develop an interprofessional, interdisciplinary, ethnically/racially/culturally diverse clinical and translational workforce with skills to meet the healthcare needs of the Buffalo community, Western New York region, and nation. It prepares learners to be ethical researchers throughout their careers. The digital badge allows learners to showcase their advanced knowledge and skills related to ethical research, which will make them more competitive applicants for future employment opportunities.
The micro-credential prepares participants to develop knowledge related to the protection of human subjects, main authoritative bodies, key codes, and scope of enforcement. In addition, it investigates how to prepare an application for IRB approval and how to describe the essential elements of voluntary informed consent. Learners will critique proposals for risks to human subjects and protections of vulnerable populations, and investigate the principles of research documentation, validation, and audit.
