DENTIST SCIENTIST PROGRAM AWARD

我们建议为牙医提供训练，使他们能够 成为独立的临床研究者。 我们有一个 口腔生物学培训计划始于1964年， 培训了21名博士， 其他20人，包括接受MS的人。学位和博士后 迄今为止的伙伴。 在过去的16年里，我们还提供了 培训牙医，结合博士学位，口腔生物学与 临床培训导致牙周病学认证（14 牙科放射学（1名受训人员）和牙髓病学（1名 实习生）。 我们现在建议加强这两方面的工作 组成部分，这是在博士的基础科学培训 水平和临床培训，并增加另一个组成部分; 在临床研究的监督下进行培训， 重视口腔疾病的研究。 这第三个组成部分， 临床研究，将使受训者应用 基础科学信息和临床培训， 与口腔有关的问题。

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.
