Comprehensive Training in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences

摘要 口腔和颅面科学（CTOC）计划的综合培训是一个不可或缺的 在俄亥俄州州立大学牙科学院的研究生和专业培训的组成部分。 该提案整合了俄亥俄州州立大学卫生部内成功的、正在进行的培训项目 科学中心，牙科学院的主持下，以解决需要良好的- 培训口腔健康和颅面研究方面的基础和临床研究人员。这项建议 在牙科和健康科学中心的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） 口腔生物学博士学位的博士前培训在牙科和两个跨学科的研究生课程 医学和神经科学学院生物医学科学研究生课程 研究生课程; 2）DDS/博士学位（DSTP）的双学位培训; 3）博士后 培训，包括博士后和临床医生/科学家计划。每个项目的目标是开发 广泛的研究经验，吸引并保留高素质的学员为未来的职业生涯 口腔健康和颅面科学的学术研究。过去10年，49 学员进入程序（这个数字包括DDS/博士，博士和博士后研究员 任命）。在双学位课程中，18人进入，12人完成，4人目前正在培训，1人 转学到另一所大学，1人没有完成学业。在博士研究生课程中，17名候选人 11人已毕业，4人正在接受培训，2人未完成培训。在博士后培训中 14名受训人员参加了该方案，11人完成了培训，3人目前正在培训。一 共有19名不同的教员指导49名学员。总而言之，这次培训计划 提供了一个基于人类疾病机制的创新性跨学科科学课程， 以及广泛而灵活的口腔科学课程，再加上长期的导师， 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。

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.
