AADOCR National Student Research Group

Broadening the dental student research community through communication, publication and awareness.

Vision:
A major goal of the AADOCR NSRG at present is to help dental students across the nation establish chapters and encourage participation in their respective schools, to ensure that research is seen as a vital aspect of dentistry. Our hope is that all schools will recognize the benefits of incorporating research into their curricula and will choose to do so formally or through local SRGs. Wha

t We Do:
- PROVIDE student researchers with a NATIONAL VOICE, and we ENCOURAGE local SRG participation
- PROVIDE a means for student researchers to promote/expand their interests on a local as well as a national level
- ACT as a SUPPORT NETWORK, linking all dental schools and their research programs
- HELP STUDENTS generate funds and ideas necessary to better the field of dentistry through new and inventive research
- PROMOTE STUDENT PARTICIPATION in dental research and its related disciplines
- PROMOTE the ADVANCEMENT of dental research and related aspects
- FURTHER the aims and objectives of the AADR and IADR as they relate to student research
- FOSTER AWARENESS of research and training opportunities in academic dentistry

Join us for an exciting workshop in New York next Thursday at AADOCR!

Effective scientific communication is crucial for sharing complex information with diverse audiences. Without proper communication tools, scientists often struggle to highlight the significance of their work and its potential impact on human health. This Hands-on Workshop, aimed at trainees (e.g., dental, graduate, dual-degree students, post-docs) and early-stage faculty, focuses on refining scientific pitches for basic and clinical research, as well as public policy topics. Expert speakers will share strategies to bridge gaps between researchers and the public, combat misinformation, conduct impactful research, and build successful collaborations. Participants will also practice crafting and delivering their scientific elevator pitches in small group discussions. These pitches are valuable for networking, job interviews, and conference presentations. Attendees will leave with enhanced skills to effectively share their research.

Join us for a symposium on the Dental Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) to explore its structure, research aims, and how it supports evidence-based clinical practice. Learn how participating in nationwide research benefits clinicians, residents, and students, and gain hands-on training in Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD). We’ll cover how to develop clinically relevant questions, search for high-quality evidence, and apply it in practice. Plus, we'll discuss ethical and regulatory requirements for research involving human subjects.

Learning Objectives:

Understand PBRN’s structure and goals

Identify participation opportunities and ethical guidelines

Develop skills for evidence-based practice and clinical decision-making

Don’t miss out—advance your clinical practice with research!
