Completing the ISP

The final ISP must be submitted in a material form, such as a report or manuscript, to all the ISP committee members.  While there are no restrictions on the final form of the ISP, students must submit some kind of written description even if an alternative medium such as an audiovisual presentation or computer program is utilized.  Final projects are often submitted for publication in medical journals or presented at scientific meetings.  Projects may also be submitted to relevant community agencies which have a material interest in the study results.

Students should submit a preliminary draft of the ISP to all committee members, arrange a meeting with the committee to discuss the findings of the study, and solicit input.  Students must then submit a final draft of the ISP, along with the required evaluation forms, to all committee members.  In addition, the student must provide the ISP Chair with the ISP Completion form.

Upon final approval of the ISP, students are responsible for ensuring that the following items are submitted to the ISP Coordinator in the Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Office:

• A copy of the final project (Please submit ISP write-up via email to Catherine Doran.)
  
• An ISP Committee Evaluation form  (PDF - 76 kb | Word - 27 kb) from each Committee Member (including ISP Chair)
• An ISP Completion Verification form (PDF - 72 kb | Word - 28 kb) from the ISP Chair
• Completion of Student Evaluation of ISP experience via CourseEval
• ISP Library Consent (Currently the UCSD Biomedical Library stores hard copies of all ISPs.  This consent permits the library to move to electronic storage of ISPs on a password-protected site.) (PDF - 56 kb | Word - 30 kb)
