The History and Myths of Clinical Trials

Wednesday, July 28, 2021

12-1 pm Central

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is heightened attention to clinical research and its role in healthcare.  Unfortunately, this heightened awareness has also resulted in conjecture, urban legend, and myths about the history of research on human subjects.  This talk will identify current myths in the conduct of clinical trials and how we can address these myths moving forward.

After this presentation, attendees should be able to:

• Chronicle the approaches to the conduct of clinical trials throughout history
• Identify and address myths and assumptions which have shaped our understanding of human experimentation
• Identify historical lessons learned and how these lessons impact clinical research today
