Scholarly Activity

Together, the UT Graduate School of Medicine and The University of Tennessee Medical Center make up the region’s academic medical center. Scholarly activity, or research, is one part of our three-fold mission. That mission includes healing, education and discovery (research). Research and publication are vital parts of the educational process. As a result, our residents and researchers publish in peer-reviewed journals. In addition, they present their work at national professional meetings.

Institutional Review Board

The UT Graduate School of Medicine established an institutional committee to review all research projects that involve human subjects. UTGSM designated this committee as the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The group consists of consists of scientific and non-scientific representatives from the graduate school, the hospital, and the Knoxville community. 

The primary function of the IRB is to protect the rights and welfare of the people who are participating in research projects. To that end, the IRB has oversight of how research is conducted in accordance with the approved protocol. Additionally, it requires investigators to be trained to adhere ethical standards.
