The University of Washington’s
Comprehensive
Center for Oral Health Research will offer a research training institute
in the summer of 2008 for dental school faculty and other oral health
professionals interested in clinical research in dentistry. Courses will
be offered in biostatistics, clinical epidemiology/study design, personal
computing applications, clinical trials, behavioral research in dentistry, grantsmanship, and case studies in data analysis. There is no tuition
charged for the summer institute, unless academic credit is requested
(which can be arranged through the University of Washington Summer Quarter
Office).

The summer institute is designed to offer training in
research methods to which dentists (and other oral health professionals)
may not have been adequately exposed during clinical training. For those
currently in or seeking academic or other positions which involve clinical
dental research, the summer institute offers an opportunity to learn
research methods which will enhance one’s ability to perform good
clinical research. Those working in or interested in research in children
are especially encouraged to apply. The program lasts a full six weeks and
is not available in modular form for shorter periods.
