RUSH’s annual Conflicts of Interest (COI) survey launches the week of July 12th
Rush University Medical Center, including Rush University, is an institution of public trust. In recognition of that status, all Rush employees, faculty and staff are expected to conduct their affairs in ways that exemplify the Rush mission and ICARE values. Annual reporting on outside professional activities through the COI survey process helps safeguard the work and reputations of Rush employees, faculty and staff.
Rush COI policies are designed to ensure that individuals disclose these relationships, and RUSH appropriately manages or eliminates situations in which personal or familial interests might otherwise compromise or appear to compromise individuals’ objectivity as caregivers, teachers, researchers or administrators.
Rush’s annual COI survey launches the week of July 12th. Based on your role at Rush, you may receive an email with survey instructions from the Rush Portal. Those not receiving the survey by email are still required to report any relationships or activities described in the policy and/or vendor guidelines to their supervisor and the COI Office if such a relationship exists. The timeline below outlines key dates you should be aware of.
