Description: The media exposure of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments in 1974, and rare but well-publicized reports of research subjects' deaths, have contributed to mistrust by the public, and in particular minorities, of human subjects research and researchers. Efforts to overcome barriers of mistrust among minorities and medically underserved individuals are needed, so that the expectation of respectful medical care, and the benefits and altruistic satisfaction that may accompany human subjects research, may be shared more justly. Accordingly, recognition has grown in recent years of the importance of understanding the needs, interests, and perspectives about ethical research among individuals belonging to minority and medically underserved populations. To participate in this aim, Meharry Medical College, an historically black institution committed to the education and service of minority and underserved populations, has established the Program in Clinical and Research Ethics. This program addresses the need for increased minority involvement and leadership in clinical research ethics. Expertise and dialogue in research ethics are sought among Meharry's professional and student communities, as well as local community members and neighboring institutions. Collaboration with Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the New Orleans District FDA (serving Nashville) facilitates the exchange of ideas among professional communities. This collaborative arrangement serves both to help increase the interests and expertise of minority medical professionals in research ethics, and to increase the awareness among all human subjects researchers of the ethical needs of minority and underserved research subjects. Two main venues for research ethics education are offered. 1. For active researchers, IRB members, community members and students, we offer symposia on ethical issues in human subjects research. 2. For senior medical students and others, an innovative month long clinical elective in Clinical and Research Ethics is offered twice a year.

描述： 1974 年塔斯基吉梅毒实验的媒体曝光，以及有关研究对象死亡的罕见但广为人知的报道，导致公众，尤其是少数群体，对人类受试者研究和研究人员的不信任。 需要努力克服少数群体和医疗服务不足的个人之间的不信任障碍，以便更公正地分享受尊重的医疗护理的期望以及人类受试者研究可能带来的好处和无私的满足感。 因此，近年来，人们越来越认识到了解少数民族和医疗服务不足人群的个人对伦理研究的需求、兴趣和观点的重要性。 为了实现这一目标，梅哈里医学院是一所历史悠久的黑人机构，致力于少数族裔和服务不足人群的教育和服务，设立了临床和研究伦理项目。 该计划解决了增加少数群体参与和领导临床研究伦理的需要。 梅哈里的专业和学生社区以及当地社区成员和邻近机构寻求研究伦理方面的专业知识和对话。 与范德比尔特大学医学中心和新奥尔良地区 FDA（服务于纳什维尔）的合作促进了专业社区之间的思想交流。 这种合作安排既有助于提高少数族裔医学专业人员在研究伦理方面的兴趣和专业知识，又提高所有人类受试者研究人员对少数族裔和服务不足的研究对象的伦理需求的认识。 提供了两个主要的研究伦理教育场所。 1. 对于活跃的研究人员、IRB 成员、社区成员和学生，我们提供有关人类受试者研究中的伦理问题的研讨会。 2. 对于高年级医学生和其他学生，每年提供两次为期一个月的临床和研究伦理学创新临床选修课。
