Research Studies Involving School of Medicine Students as Subjects

All research studies that include Emory School of Medicine medical students as subjects (i.e. any study that requires human subject protections as defined in HHS 45CFR46) must be approved by the School of Medicine. This policy includes: all studies performed by Emory University School of Medicine students on other students, studies by Emory University School of Medicine faculty members, studies performed by students or faculty members from all other LCME-accredited medical schools, or all others. Internal approval of a study does not replace the judgment of the Emory Institutional Review Board (IRB) and consent may be contingent on obtaining the appropriate IRB approval.

All requests to conduct studies using Emory University School of Medicine medical students as subjects should be directed to the Associate Dean of Medical Education, Dr. Erica Brownfield.
