Medical Student Research and Scholarly Activity Registration Through Salesforce
Heritage College Policy 2.22 requires that all medical students conduct research and scholarly activities under the direction of a mentor and follow all Ohio University and Heritage College policies and procedures, including registering their research and scholarly activities with the Office of Research and Grants through Salesforce. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all requirements are met prior to engaging in research or scholarly activity.
Please note that research and scholarly activities and dissemination activities not registered in Salesforce will not be considered for a designation of Research Distinction on the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE). Details about activities that will be considered for a designation of Research Distinction on the MSPE can be found here.
