Biography
Susan S. Fish, PharmD, MPH is Professor, Department of Medical Sciences & Education, at Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. She is the former Director of the MA in Clinical Investigation in Graduate Medical Sciences, and formerly Professor of Biostatistics in the Boston University School of Public Health. Dr. Fish has been a medical researcher for more than 25 years. In a variety of forums, Dr. Fish lectures on the design, conduct, and management of clinical trials, as well as research ethics and protection of human research subjects. She teaches courses through the Boston University Schools of Public Health and Medicine, and is frequently an invited speaker nationally. Although she has a long history of research in the areas of clinical toxicology and emergency medicine, Dr. Fish has more recently focused on research ethics in general, and application of the federal regulations for waiver of informed consent in certain emergency research circumstances. Her sabbatical project was consistent with this focus, working as Project Director for PRIM & R's Accreditation Project to develop a national accreditation system for human research protection programs.
