RISE is an important resource for medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty scholars. Located within the Office of Educational Affairs as part of the Department of Medical Education, specialists are available to help students, residents, fellows, and faculty navigate through the Research Project Continuum. This section contains a variety of general resources in the form of articles and links. RISE can assist in acting as an advocate in this process, providing guidance and other materials regarding the pursuit and presentation of scholarly work.

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.
