The UTCVM understands the importance of responsible conduct of research (RCR) and encourages its faculty, staff, and students to continually pursue training opportunities in compliance, safety, and research ethics. All students in the Comparative and Experimental Medicine (CEM) graduate program are required to complete RCR training.
