POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING IN ORAL BIOLOGY

波士顿大学牙科医学院口腔生物学和口腔医学(BUSDM)培训计划的目标是为牙医和合格的博士前候选人提供高级教育和培训。BUSDM提供的课程为候选人成为独立调查人员做准备，并应为口腔医学的研究和学术生涯奠定基础。这项提案代表了口腔生物学博士后培训计划的继续，目前该计划通过机构国家研究服务奖获得资金，目前已进入第十个年头。我们的项目，导致了理科博士(D.S.C.)或口腔生物学博士学位，专门面向对口腔和颅面医学领域感兴趣的候选人。我们计划的相当大的优势来自于正在进行的研究的高质量和教学课程的范围和广度，以及来自BUSDM建立卓越科学中心的承诺。我们博士后教育和培训计划的范围和深度已经在几个层面上扩大了。BUSDM口腔生物学分部目前正在为口腔生物学和医学博士后教育提供两门基础科学课程。DSC。口腔生物学学位至少需要三年，由BUSDM管理，而口腔生物学博士学位由医学院医学研究生部管理，需要四到五年才能完成。博士学位也提供给拥有学士学位或同等学位的博士前候选人。此外，我们的D.S.C.该计划现在还为对临床和转化性研究感兴趣的牙医提供了一条途径。今后五年将为2名博士研究生、3名博士后实习生和4名博士后实习生提供支助。这两个学位课程的学术和物质资源都很好。口腔生物学分部包括9名教职员工，涵盖了NIDCR支持的这一领域的广泛研究。此外，学员还受益于医学院医学研究生部庞大的师资资源。口腔生物学部的研究设施是最先进的，位于现代研究大楼高级生物医学研究中心。总体而言，这为候选人发展成为训练有素的科学家提供了良好的环境。

The goal of the Boston University School of Dental Medicine (BUSDM) Training Program in Oral Biology and Oral Medicine is to provide advanced education and training to dentists and qualified pre-doctoral candidates. The programs offered in BUSDM prepare candidates to become independent investigators and should provide the foundation for a research and academic career in Oral Medicine. The proposal represents a continuation of the Postdoctoral Training Program in Oral Biology currently in its tenth year of funding through the Institutional National Research Service Award. Our program, leading to a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) or a Ph.D. in Oral Biology, is uniquely geared to candidates with interests in the area of oral and craniofacial medicine. Considerable strength of our program stems from the high quality of ongoing research and the scope and breadth of didactic courses, as well as from the commitment of BUSDM to build centers of excellence in science. The scope and depth of our postdoctoral education and training programs has been expanded on several levels. The Division of Oral Biology at BUSDM is offering now two basic science curricula for postdoctoral education in Oral Biology and Medicine. The D.Sc. degree in Oral Biology requires a minimum of three years and is administered by BUSDM, while the Ph.D. degree in Oral Biology is administered by the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences of the Medical School and requires four to fie years for completion. The Ph.D. degree is also offered to predoctoral candidates with a bachelor or equivalent degree. Furthermore, our D.Sc. program now also offers a track for dentists interested in clinical and translational research. For the next five years support is requested for 2 D.S.c trainees, 3 postdoctoral Ph.D. trainees and 4 predoctoral trainees. The academic and physical resources for both degree programs are excellent. The Division of Oral Biology includes 9 faculty members covering a broad area of NIDCR supported research in this field. In addition, trainees profit from the large faculty resources of the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences of the Medical School. The research facilities of the Division of Oral Biology are state-of-the art and are housed in a modern research building, the Center of Advanced Biomedical Research. Overall this provides an excellent environment for the development of candidates into well-trained scientists.
