Comprehensive Training in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences

摘要 口腔和颅面科学(CTOC)的综合训练是一个不可或缺的项目 是俄亥俄州立大学牙科学院研究生和专业培训的组成部分。 该提案将俄亥俄州立大学健康中心内成功的、正在进行的培训项目整合在一起 科学中心，由牙科学院赞助，以解决对水井的需求- 受过口腔健康和颅面研究方面的基础和临床研究人员培训。这项建议 在牙科和健康科学中心学院内整合了多个研究生课程 创建一个综合的跨学科研究培训计划。培训机会包括：1) 牙科口腔生物学博士项目博士前培训和两名跨学科毕业生 医学与神经科学学院生物医学研究生课程 研究研究生计划；2)DDS/博士学位(DSTP)双学位培训；3)博士后 培训，包括博士后和临床医生/科学家项目。每个项目的目标都是开发 广泛的研究经验，吸引并留住高素质的学员，为未来的职业生涯做准备 从事口腔健康和颅面科学的学术研究。在过去的10年里，49 学员参加了该项目(这一数字包括DDS/博士、博士和博士后研究员 预约)。在双学位课程中，18人进入，12人完成，4人目前正在接受培训，1人 转学到另一所大学，1人没有完成学业。在博士研究生项目中，17名候选人 进入，11人毕业，4人目前在培训，2人没有完成。在博士后培训中 计划中，14名学员进入该计划，11名完成培训，3名目前正在接受培训。一个 共有19名不同的教职员工指导了49名学员。总而言之，这项培训计划 提供基于人类疾病机制的创新型跨学科科学课程， 和广泛而灵活的口腔科学课程，加上长期的指导 经验丰富的跨学科教师，培养训练有素的科学家和临床科学家 从事学术研究的职业。

ABSTRACT The Comprehesive Training in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences (CTOC) program is an integral component of graduate and professional training in the Ohio State University College of Dentistry. This proposal integrates successful, ongoing training programs within the Ohio State University Health Sciences Center, under the auspices of the College of Dentistry, to address the need for the well- trained basic and clinical research faculty in oral health and craniofacial research. This proposal incorporates multiple graduate programs within the College of Dentistry and Health Sciences Center to create an integrated interdisciplinary research training program. Training opportunities include: 1) pre-doctoral training in the Oral Biology Ph.D. program in Dentistry and two interdisiciplinary graduate programs in Biomedical Science Graduate Program in the College of Medicine and the Neuroscience Studies Graduate Program; 2) dual degree training for the DDS/PhD degrees (DSTP); 3) postdoctoral training, including post PhD and clinician/scientist programs. The goal of each program is to develop an extensive research experience that attracts and retains highly qualified trainees for future careers in academic research in the oral health and craniofacial sciences. Over the past 10 years, 49 trainees entered the program (this number includes the DDS/PhD, PhD and postdoctoral fellow appointments). In the dual degree program, 18 entered, 12 finished, 4 are currently in training, 1 transfer out to another college and 1 did not finish. In the PhD graduate programs, 17 candidates entered, 11 graduated, 4 are currently in training, and 2 did not finish. In the postdoctoral training program, 14 trainees entered the program, 11 completed training, and 3 are currently in training. A total of 19 different faculty members mentored the 49 trainees. In summary, this training program offers an innovative interdisciplinary science curriculum based on the mechanisms of human disease, and an extensive and flexible curriculum in oral sciences, coupled with the long-term mentorship of experienced interdisciplinary faculty, to produce highly trained scientists and clinician scientists for careers in academic research.
