For Students

The student research program provides an opportunity for dental students to become involved in research during the academic year as well as in the summer intersession period.

Many faculty members participate in the Student Research Program. Their research interests include all areas of the basic sciences and dental clinical sciences. Students are encouraged to contact these faculty members to pursue specific projects.

The School of Dental Medicine is a nationally recognized center for dental research. Students who take advantage of research opportunities become far more knowledgeable of their profession regardless of whether or not they choose a career in dental research.

When you have completed your research and are ready to write your thesis, we encourage you to follow these guidelines.

Students are introduced to elements of research and exposed to faculty role models. They are encouraged to foster scholarly abilities through organized, structured and supportative program.

Many students want to do research but choose not to participate in a formal program

The Dental Student Research Group (DSRG) is an association of dental students with an objective to facilitate, support and promote research-related activities in dental school.

Each year, all students presenting their research at this event benefit from interaction with a panel of faculty judges. This experience of talking with the judges and receiving advice is designed to help students advance their careers in research.
