According to the UTMB Office of the Provost, Dr. Smith provides mentorship that her mentees describe as "careful and supportive," as she helps trainees develop their research plans and navigate challenges along the way. She is a go-to resource for research ethics consultations, helping her colleagues proceed in their work with comfort and confidence, ultimately helping bolster the overall integrity of work produced at UTMB. Expanding her reach, Dr. Smith will provide an educational series this fall to help medical students foster useful skills in their research ethics practice.
