DENTIST SCIENTIST PROGRAM AWARD

我们建议为牙医提供培训，使他们能够 成为独立的临床调查人员。我们有过一次 口腔生物学培训计划，始于1964年，已 结果培训了21名博士级人员，以及 其他20人，包括获得理科硕士学位和博士后 到目前为止都是。在过去的16年里，我们还提供了 口腔生物学博士学位与口腔生物学博士学位相结合的牙科医生培训 通过临床培训获得牙周学证书(14 受训人员)、牙科放射学(1名受训人员)和牙髓科学(1名 实习生)。我们现在建议加强这两个方面 组件，即博士阶段的基础科学训练 水平和临床培训，并增加另一个组成部分； 带教带教，带教带教 重视口腔疾病的研究。这第三个组件， 临床调查，将使实习生应用 基础科学信息和临床培训对临床的影响 口腔方面的问题。

We propose to provide training for dentists which will enable them to become independent clinical investigators. We have had a training program in Oral Biology which began in 1964 and has resulted in the training of 21 individuals at the doctoral level, and 20 others including those receiving M.S. degrees and postdoctoral fellows to date. For the last 16 years we have also offered training to dentists which combined the Ph.D. in Oral Biology with clinical training leading to certification in Periodontology (14 trainees), Dental Radiology (1 trainee), and Endodontics (1 trainee). We now propose to strengthen both of these components, that is the basic science training at the doctoral level and the clinical training, and to add another component; training under supervision in clinical investigation with an emphasis on the study of oral diseases. This third component, clinical investigation, will engage the trainee in application of basic science information and clinical training to a clinical problem related to the oral cavity.
