Students requesting authorization to perform functions related to research at MCOM affiliate hospitals and centers (i.e.: Moffitt Cancer Center, TGH and JAHVA) may be required to complete additional credentialing for that site. RISE is available to assist.
Students, in the course of their scholarly endeavors, may be exposed to confidential information regarding patients. Students must understand that any and all patient information is confidential and is protected under State and Federal regulations governing hospitals and patient rights. Students are responsible to follow all guidelines pertaining to human subject research and recognize that it is to be conducted under the ethical principals of respect for all persons, beneficence, and justice.
Students will conduct all human subject research related activities according to the IRB approved study protocol and will maintain patient safety at the forefront of all research activities with which they are involved.
