Ethics, Clinical Trials & Research in Oncology

Training Overview

Ethics, Clinical Trials & Research in Oncology is a comprehensive, simulation-enhanced training program designed for oncologists, clinical researchers, trial coordinators, ethics committee members, nurses, and trainees seeking advanced expertise in ethical decision-making, clinical trial design, and oncology research practice. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical modules with scenario-based simulations and case discussions, emphasizing patient safety, regulatory compliance, and research integrity.

The program begins with foundational modules on medical ethics, informed consent, patient rights, regulatory frameworks, and ethical challenges in oncology research. Participants explore core principles of clinical trial phases, study design, endpoints, protocol development, and risk–benefit assessment in cancer research.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to engage with real-world research scenarios, including consent interviews, protocol deviations, adverse event reporting, and ethical dilemma management. Under expert guidance, attendees practice ethical decision-making, communication with patients and research teams, and compliance with international clinical research standards.

Through interactive case discussions and mock ethics committee reviews, participants analyze complex oncology trial cases while refining judgment related to vulnerable populations, data integrity, trial transparency, and conflict of interest management. Structured feedback enhances ethical awareness, research quality, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

By the end of the program, attendees will have developed strong competencies in oncology research ethics, clinical trial conduct, and responsible research practices across diverse clinical settings.
