The college has been recognized withADEA’s Gies Award为其在口腔生物学方面的全面培训计划。该奖项是为了致力于杰出的研究和学院的培训环境。

In response to a request from the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research to provide Institutional Training for a Dental and Craniofacial Workforce, the University of Florida College of Dentistry has developed a Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology. This training grant is one of 15 awarded by NIDCR to US academic institutions. The UFCD program builds on over 25 years of successful training of basic and clinician scientists in oral health research. Using the extensive educational, scientific and clinical resources at the university, a comprehensive series of pre and post-doctoral training opportunities in research areas are provided, directly related to oral health and diseases. These programs produce highly skilled and interactive scientists prepared to generate new knowledge and translate their discoveries to advances in the detection, prevention, treatment and cure of diseases and abnormalities of the oral and craniofacial complex.

学习计划

这个口腔生物学的综合培训计划所包含的科学领域包括但不限于人类微生物组,口腔传染病,口腔健康和系统健康之间的机械联系,病毒学,唾液腺生物学,自身免疫性,骨骼生物学,骨骼和颈部,骨骼和颈部,头部和颈部癌症,计算生物学,生物医学工程和干细胞生物学。

UF牙科和医学学院的已建立且经过时间考验的跨学科研究培训计划被利用,特别强调生物医学科学的跨学科博士学位课程(IDP), and clinical research training programs supported by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI)。


培训机会

Pre-doctoral

  • DMD-PhD dual-degree program:该赛道上的个人将完成三年的牙科学校,然后完成博士学位培训及其4年的要求th四年级至七年的牙科培训年。通过IDP和CTSI计划,还可以为临床研究的培训重点进行培训重点。
  • PhD training for BS/BA or MS holders:Individuals in this track will pursue the PhD degree in the IDP program in an “advanced concentration” with the option of augmenting their training with formal course work and a certificate in clinical investigation through the CTSI.

博士后

  • 受过博士培训的非测度寻求:Individuals in this track will pursue traditional intensive post-doctoral training and have the option of augmenting their training with course work in clinical investigation
  • DMD(DDS)-PHD非测度寻求:R90组件将支持此轨道中的个人,并进行强化的博士后培训,以便选择通过临床研究中的课程工作来提高其技能。
