Rector CSSC Research Committee
Formalized in January, 2008, this interdisciplinary committee is co-chaired by Kate and Dale Berg, MD. It has been developed to foster and support the development and publication of research projects. One of the strategic tenets of simulation is to make certain that Rector CSSC educational endeavors impact students in a positive way and to try to determine if indeed students impact at the bedside on patients and patient care. Attendance and discussion at these every other week meetings is robust and scholarly. Rector CSSC has developed an interdisciplinary template to propose and follow research projects from conception through publication. There is also a mechanism to support research and obtain IRB for research projects.
- The performance of well designed research projects to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of our curricular interventions is requisite to the Rector CSSC
- It is the policy of the Rector CSSC that all new programs have a research component to them
- The Research Committee meets on a frequent, regular basis to support and inspire research activities
- The Rector CSSC has developed a template for presenting research questions to our committee
- Over 20 research abstracts, papers and projects from faculty at the Rector CSSC have been published at regional, national and international meetings over the past year
