titleMeet with Faculty Mentor

Your faculty mentor will help guide you through your career with the College of Public Health. You will be assigned a faculty mentor at the end of your first year in the program. It is mandatory that you meet with your faculty mentor regularly after the first year, at appropriate intervals to critically evaluate the student's progress.

Although it is ultimately the responsibility of the student to be acquainted with all policies and regulations, and be responsible for completing requirements, the Faculty Mentor's role is to guide students in all aspects of their academic program and to monitor and evaluate students’ progress toward their degrees. He/she should be aware of any difficulties that students may be facing in their coursework or research experiences and should work with students in resolving these issues. It is recommended that the faculty mentor and student understand each others expectations and that effective means of communication are established.

titleComplete Required Training Modules (HIPAA, IRB)

The USF IRB requires human subjects protection certification courses offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) to better suit our research community. Your registration may be put on hold if you do not complete them as required. Students taking Directed Research, Thesis, Dissertation,or Doctoral Project courses for the first time will take the CITI course. They have also added several supplemental modules, distinctly curated for both our biomedical and social behavioral investigators, that individuals may complete if they are interested in the offered topic and/or if it is required by their Department. These supplemental modules will not count towards your certification, yet the additional educational information may influence and cultivate your research positively. Once you complete your CITI certification, the updated certificate should appear in the ARC system automatically; however, if your updated certificate does not generate in BullsIRB as you are completing research applications, please contact the ARC Help Desk at  RSCH-ARC@usf.edu and our Help Desk team will be able to upload your certificate for you. Please reference the following  links for additional information on how to register for a CITI account and USF Human Subject Protection Education CITI course requirements.

All COPH doctoral students must complete the eIRB credentialing process during their first semester following admission, during their PHC 7982 Introduction to Doctoral Training in Public Health course. You can access the ARC Portal on this page: www3.research.usf.edu/dric/hrpp/. This meets the HIPAA requirement as required by all faculty, residents, students, staff and other members of the USF Health Community.

Please contact the COPH Doctoral Training Office at cophdoctoral@usf.edu if you have any questions.
