One way to assure that this is so, is be making sure that one understands the many aspect of what ethics truly mean. When considering what an ethical organization stands for, one should always implement these six elements, such as: mission statement, values statement, code of ethics, organizational culture, leadership, and oversight. When building an ethical organization, this simply means that one needs to understand what it truly mean to be efficient, effective, productive, professional, and compassionate human service worker. What one has found while taking this course is that there are many human service organizations/agencies that are in this field only for the financial aspect. Creating an ethical organization begins with hiring ethical people. “Once employed, those individuals must step up to the moral challenge and fulfill the ethical responsibilities they have,’ (McCurdy, 1998) One’s staff should “bear the responsibility for the ethical nature of their organization; it will not do the claim that the organization can somehow “lead individuals to do good or evil or that the organization can be guilty of unethical behavior, apart from identifiable individuals who lead it and staff it” (McCurdy, 1998) Even though this is so, individuals have an indisputable moral responsibility in organizations, people also need their organization moral...

...Human Subjects Research (HSR) Series CITI Program’s HSR series consists of modules from two basic tracks, Biomedical (Biomed) and Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE), and a set of Additional Modules of Interest. Organizations may group these modules to form a basic Biomed or SBE course, or a course that combines the two tracks. The Additional Modules of Interest should be used in any course variation, if relevant. The basic Biomed modules have three corresponding sets of refresher modules and the basic SBE modules have two corresponding sets of refresher modules. These refresher modules are intended to provide learners with a review of what was covered in the basic level modules. It is generally recommended that organizations select refresher module requirements that reflect their selections for the basic course(s). Refresher courses should be taken in a cycle at an interval specified by your organization (for example, Refresher Stage 1: 3 years after completion of basic course; Refresher Stage 2: 6 years after completion of basic course). Three additional standalone courses are available: Institutional/Signatory Official: Human Subject Research, and IRB Chair. The Institutional/Signatory Official: Human Subject Research course provides a general introduction to the roles and responsibilities of the institutional official at an organization holding a Federalwide Assurance (FWA). The IRB Administration course offers members of an Institutional Review Board’s (IRB)...
