| [JOINT] Models for Integration of Research and Scholarship Within the Dental Curriculum | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sponsored by: NSRG | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: A “case-based” discussion of educational models that integrate research and scholarship into the undergraduate dental curriculum within three distinct institutional environments (research intensive, research non-intensive, and between). Objectives are to present and discuss various approaches to integration based on available resources/infrastructure, desired graduate profile, and institutional mission. Important issues to be addressed include institutional culture, faculty development/participation, funding mechanisms, flexible curricula, didactic content, mentored research/scholarly experiences, assessment, and required vs. elective activities. This joint symposium provides a unique forum for AADR and ADEA members to collaborate on a critical issue impacting the future of dental education and the pipeline for academicians/researchers. Thus, it truly embodies the theme for this important dual meeting “Education and Research Together”. Educators and researchers must work together to create educational environments that attach value to research/scholarship, apply new advances/technologies to patient care, and produce graduates who are either evidenced-based consumers of research or motivated to choose academic/research careers. Presentation and discussion of integrative models that have been implemented and assessed, representing a broad spectrum of institutional environments, will provide an opportunity for attendees to adapt approaches to their own institutions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
