Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Propose ways of studying mechanisms of long-term impact of early life exposures
2. Evaluate research reports in terms of pediatric relevance as regards age and maturity
3. Discuss the need of enrolling children in research and the special requirements
Content
Children are not just small adults, and pediatric research is not just a question of downscaling. Due to the dynamic biological development (not least in utero and during early childhood), the diversity in gene expression across age groups, and the complex psychosocial development and interaction between the child, the parents, and other significant individuals in the child’s environment, pediatric research in general requires a different approach compared to that applied for adults. Furthermore, although special legislation aims to protect the child when eligible for participation in research programs, this may fall short of its objective, because of the difficulties in the application of some of the basic ethical principles during childhood, e.g. the principles of autonomy and full information prior to consent.
This course will focus on three main topics:
1. Child, family, and society (keywords: Nature and nurture, socio-biology, psychosocial determinants, deficits and handicap, quality of life, international comparisons)
2. Age, maturity, size and time (keywords: Growth, development, reference values, pharmacology, biologic programming, secular trends, animal models).
3. Ethics and regulations, and philosophical consideration when dealing with paediatric research (keywords: Informing children, the child's choice, parental authority, risk, pain, and inconvenience, non-therapeutic research, studying normal children, register-based studies, international collaboration, the child as an independent self-defining individual).
Participants
PhD students, other active researchers and physicians under paediatric training.
Relevance to graduate programmes
