CRES 1 will be a course that provides dental students with opportunities to explore career opportunities in the field of oral health research. Students will investigate the various realms of research (e.g., basic science, bench top, clinical, others) and the additional educational requirements required to pursue a chosen path (e.g., biostatistics, epidemiology, grant writing, others). Students will gain experience in the basic principles and processes for designing clinical research studies. A module discussing the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network will be provided. Assessment will be accomplished by a take home final examination and the submission of self-reflection paper, both completed by the end of the fall semester. Successful completion of CRES 1 will be required to progress to the D3 year.
