Students directly admitted into ITEHP are required to abide by Office of Biomedical Graduate Education’s Basic Medical Science RCR requirements, during their first year. All directly-admitted students will follow the RCR requirements of their degree-granting department starting in year 2, after affiliation has taken place.

Students who entered ITEHP indirectly through any other program are required to meet the RCR requirements of their admitting department.

All RCR credits are monitored and tracked by the university registrar and recorded on the student’s transcript. Students are required to submit written assessments before they receive credit. 

For a listing of upcoming RCR Forums, please visit the RCR Forums website. These forums count towards the additional RCR contact hours beyond the core trainings needed to meet the graduation requirements, regardless of training path (biomedical vs. non-biomedical).
