2 University of Kentucky Human Subjects Research Certification: In accordance with federal regulations and guidelines, the University of Kentucky Institutional Review Board requires all investigators and key personnel to complete human subjects protection training. The Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) online training courses may be used to satisfy this training requirement. There is one specific set of modules for Medical Researchers (Biomedical Research) and one set for Non medical researchers (Social/Behavioral Research). Biomedical/Medical Research Module Topic 1 History & Ethical Principles 2 Basic IRB Regulations and Review Process 3 Informed Consent 4 Records Based Research 5 Genetic Research in Human Populations 6 Research With Protected Populations, Vulnerable Subjects An Overview 7 Vulnerable Subjects Research With Prisoners 8 Vulnerable Subjects Research With Minors 9 Vulnerable Subjects Research Involving Pregnant Women and Fetuses in Utero 10 FDA Regulated Research 11 Conflict of Interest in Human Subjects Research Paper on Research Interests The first written assignment will direct that the students prepare a 2 3 page paper identifying one or two areas of possible research interest. This piece should describe why this has piqued the students interest and what possible results or utility will be served by the project. Assigned Reading Students in the course will be expected to read all assigned articles in the series Research Fundamentals in the American Journal of Health System Pharmacy. AJHPResearchFundamentalsSeries.aspx Residency ride along Students will accompany a pharmacy resident for part of a day to experience patient care rounds and other activities that are integral to a typical day in residency training. An approximately one page summary of the experience focusing on the activities of the day and specific learning points.

Scholars (faculty and students alike) expect a certain degree of respect from other scholars regardless of the similarity or divergence of viewpoint and irrespective of age or experience. Faculty have the right and the responsibility to ensure that all academic discourse occurs in a context characterized by respect and civility. Consistent with this policy, student behavior that detracts from the educational environment will not be tolerated. Examples of inappropriate behaviors include engaging in disrespectful debate, holding disruptive discussions with fellow classmates, reading newspapers or playing electronic games during class, receiving phone calls in the classroom, or sleeping. Disruptive students will be asked to leave the classroom and will receive a one point deduction in the final course grade for each infraction. Students must wear their Medical Center ID badge to all class sessions in order to receive credit for that day s activities. Attendance Regular and timely class attendance is critical to success in this course. The course coordinator without prior notice of any kind will monitor attendance. Students with excused absences (US ) will not be penalized for the missed coursework but may be required to complete missed activities. All absences must be directly reported to and approved by the course coordinator. The right to request appropriate verification is reserved. Unexcused absences will directly affect the final grade for this course each unexcused absence may result in a 5 point deduction in the final grade for this course. In the event of an unanticipated University closing all classes will be cancelled and the coursework made up during the remaining time in the semester. Missed assessments or laboratory exercise of any kind without notification or in the light of an unexcused absence will be graded as zero. Absence from any assessment activity shall require both oral and written verification in order for an excuse to be granted. The course coordinator should be contacted personally by the student and subsequent written verification is expected before the student will be administered a repeat assessment. Oral or written examinations may be administered for examinations missed secondary to excused absences. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the student to procure any missed work including handouts. Students should not expect to be provided a handout if they are not in class. All decisions regarding excused and unexcused attendance of any kind shall be at the final discretion of the course coordinator. Cheating/Plagiarism Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of Honor Code and University regulations. All examinations will be taken in accordance with the College of Pharmacy Honor Code. Each student is directed to the Honor Code and should familiarize themselves with it. It is the responsibility of students to insure that their own behavior is such that no doubt could possibly exist at any time regarding their honesty or integrity. If any conditions or situations exist that might for any reason lead a student to be suspected of honor code violations the course coordinator should be notified prior to the first laboratory session of the semester. Students are expected to work and submit materials individually. In some instances small group sessions may require students to submit work done by the entire group. 4

5 On line Course Evaluation Policy for Course Syllabi Regular course and instructor evaluations are required by state, university and college regulations. These evaluations are essential for improving student learning by providing feedback to faculty about their classroom presentations. Based on your feedback, important decisions are made about courses and how they are taught. This process CANNOT work without your input. Please complete a course and instructor s evaluation for each of your courses. Your individual responses are completely anonymous. However, the Office of Education Innovation can track who has or has not completed each evaluation and send reminder notices. Summary reports of aggregate data will be provided to the faculty after the semester is completed. IMPORTANT! Please be certain that the College has your current address at all times so that you will receive timely e mail notification throughout the semester as online course evaluations become available. If you do not complete an evaluation, you will receive an incomplete grade ( I ) for the semester because you have not completed all of the course requirements. When you complete the course evaluation, the incomplete grade will be changed to the grade earned in the course. Syllabus is subject to change with sufficient notice. Procedures for Disability Accommodation Students requesting an accommodation because of a disability should notify Dr. Cook and the Student Affairs Office no later than the third day of the semester. The student should then check with Dr. Cook at least several days in advance of the assignment for arrangements to manage the accommodation. The Student Affairs Office will 1) work with students and the University Disability Resource Center to document/verify the disability, 2) obtain guidelines for appropriate accommodation and 3) notify Dr. Cook of the appropriate accommodation. Students who have requested and obtained accommodations in the previous semester in the College of Pharmacy need only notify the instructor by the third day of class and prior to the assignment to obtain the arrangements to manage the accommodation from the instructor. The Student Affairs Office will forward the guidelines from the University Disability Resource Center to the faculty member in charge of the course at the beginning of the semester. Student Responsibility: 1. Report disability need to each course director and to the Student Affairs office no later than third day of the semester. 2. Provide appropriate documentation to the Disability Resource Center. 3. Though verification of the disability will not be available until after Disability Resource Center gathers information (and/or performs testing), the student should notify faculty members that such information may be coming. 4. Work with faculty member or teaching assistant for each assignment to arrange appropriate accommodations. 5
