Call for Members - Medical Education Research Guidelines and Procedures Ad Hoc Committee The School of Medicine (SOM) is strengthening its focus on education through the development of programming to support medical education research and teaching scholarship. With growing capacity for education-based research, we anticipate an increase in requests to engage medical students in research. This ad hoc committee will be charged to develop guidelines and procedures for such requests to ensure that medical students are protected and that the need for faculty access is considered. This ad hoc committee will also consider the resources needed for education-based research and the availability of these resources at UMMC and within the SOM. If you are interested in serving on this committee, send a brief statement of interest outlining your experiences in educational research and your curriculum vitae to Dr. Lecretia A.

Medical Education Research Guidelines and Procedures Ad Hoc Committee Charge The Medical Education Research Guidelines and Procedures Committee is charged to develop guidelines and procedures for education research in undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education. All research requests including those by University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) faculty members, researchers, or students and research requests originating outside of UMMC for research in which medical students or residents are serving as research participants will be subject to the developed guidelines and procedures. The guidelines address criteria for the topics/focus of the proposed research study, the number and level of medical students proposed to participate, the time commitment for participation, the data sources requested, and other criteria deemed appropriate. The developed guidelines are not to address Institutional Research Board issues such as determining the type of consent that would be required of participants. Researchers must be approved by the designated body and IRB to engage in education-based research with SOM students and/or residents.
