JMR's latest podcast features the BRC's Dr. Tristan McIntosh discussing her article, "Protecting Patients from Egregious Wrongdoing by Physicians: Consensus Recommendations from State Medical Board Members and Staff." @TheEthicsDoc

“Research on #COVID19: Stories from #IRB Members, #Research Administrators, & Investigators,” explores the challenges—and successes—of conducting and reviewing research during the #pandemic. Now available open-access on the NIB website nibjournal.org/voices/researc…

Clinical researchers are in a terrible position in this #pandemic. They face the tension of “acting too quickly to be safe or, conversely, too slowly to save lives.” Read Annie Friedrich, PhD, a staff scientist @BRC_WUSTL @NIBjournal on #Covid19 #trials thehastingscenter.org/fear-of-doing-…

We seek first-person stories from #physicians who have participated in "Grateful Patient" programs. Through these programs, U.S. Medical Institutions solicit financial gifts from patients, often encouraging physicians to assist in fundraising. More info: nibjournal.org/wp-content/upl…
