Meharry Medical College (MMC) is a historically black college that routinely oversees the healthcare needs of underserved populations and patients with low socioeconomic status inflicted with multiple medical and dental comorbidities. The majority of our School of Dentistry (SOD) students and residents are from underrepresented minority groups. At the MMCSOD clinics, they serve patients of low socioeconomic backgrounds, many of whom are underinsured or uninsured. Therefore, MMCSOD is uniquely positioned to provide the clinical training required to serve underserved patient populations. Unfortunately, only a small number of MMCSOD graduates thus far, if any, have become dentist-scientists. This could be due to the lack of sufficient research training in the clinical setting. Implementing a) clinical research skills development through research education and b) practice- based approach research at MMCSOD will enhance the critical thinking skills necessary to incorporate the acquired knowledge into best practices among our trainees. Furthermore, it will boost the graduation of more competent dental scientists. We aim to engage our pre-doctoral, post-doctoral residents and dental faculty (trainees) in a multidisciplinary project that will allow them to gain research skills and experience while treating underserved patients at the MMCSOD clinics. To enhance clinical research and multidisciplinary practice-based research skills among trainees, we will a) implement evidence based clinical research courses and training; b) leverage intra-institutional collaborations with Meharry Schools of Medicine, Graduate Studies and Applied Computational Sciences and inter-institutional collaborations with Vanderbilt University Medical Center; and c) enhance peer and student mentoring partnerships with faculty focused on clinical research. We will implement “Clinical Research Immersion Program” with the support of Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). The trainees will evaluate the program at the end of their rotation. Our trainees will also conduct clinical chart reviews, case study sessions, collect and process oral specimens, and perform critical appraisal of the literature. Collectively, this will boost our trainees to acquire the clinical research experience in treating periodontal disease (PD) and HIV patients because of the high incidences of these diseases among the patients they see. They will learn about and apply omics analysis in the identification of biomarkers for increased PD risk. They will also learn to correlate their patients’ microbiological and immunological profiles with the severity and activity of PD. The multidisciplinary practice-based research opportunities will enhance the clinical training of minority trainees at MMCSOD. Our proposed training program will ultimately help improve the overall community/public health outcomes for underserved populations affected by PD and HIV.

梅哈里医学院（MMC）是一所历史悠久的黑人学院，定期监督学生的医疗保健需求。 服务不足的人群和社会经济地位低下的患者， 合并症。我们的牙科学校（SOD）的学生和居民的大多数来自代表性不足 少数群体。在MMCSOD诊所，他们为低社会经济背景的患者提供服务，其中许多人 投保不足或未投保。因此，MMCSOD具有独特的定位，可以提供临床培训 为服务不足的患者群体提供服务。不幸的是，只有少数MMCSOD毕业生 到目前为止，如果有的话，已经成为牙医科学家。这可能是由于缺乏足够的研究培训， 临床设置。实施a）通过研究教育和B）实践培养临床研究技能- 在MMCSOD的基于方法的研究将提高必要的批判性思维技能， 在我们的学员中将获得的知识转化为最佳实践。此外，这将促进更多的人毕业， 有能力的牙科专家我们的目标是让我们的博士前，博士后居民和牙科教师 （学员）在一个多学科项目，这将使他们获得研究技能和经验，同时治疗 MMCSOD诊所的服务不足患者。以加强临床研究和多学科实践为基础 研究技能，我们将a）实施循证临床研究课程和培训; B） 利用与Meharry医学院，研究生院和应用 计算科学和与范德比尔特大学医学中心的机构间合作;以及c） 加强同行和学生的指导伙伴关系，与教师专注于临床研究。落实 “临床研究沉浸计划”与临床和转化科学奖（CTSA）的支持。 受训人员将在轮换结束时对该计划进行评估。我们的学员还将进行临床图表 回顾，个案研究会议，收集和处理口腔标本，并进行文献的批判性评价。 整体而言，这将有助我们的学员获得治疗牙周病的临床研究经验 (PD)和艾滋病患者，因为他们看到的病人中这些疾病的发病率很高。他们将 学习并应用组学分析识别PD风险增加的生物标志物。他们还将学习 将患者的微生物学和免疫学特征与PD的严重程度和活动性相关联。的 多学科实践为基础的研究机会将加强少数民族学员的临床培训， MMCSOD。我们提出的培训计划最终将有助于改善整体社区/公共卫生 受PD和HIV影响的服务不足人群的结果。
