BSc Dentistry Summer Student Program
Alex Serebnitski,
Dental Student
The Bachelor of Science in Dentistry Summer Student Program in the College of Dentistry encourages interested dental students to undertake research during their undergraduate careers. The MMSF is a major contributor of funding for this program.
The specific aim is for students to acquire knowledge and skills in research design and methodology, including experimental design, hypothesis testing, critical evaluation of data, and effective communication of findings. Through active participation in a research program, the students are given the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to apply scientific knowledge to dental practices and to develop an interest in dental research. The student carries out research in either the basic sciences or in a clinical area under the supervision of a faculty member.
The program lasts for two summer terms and runs during the summer breaks after first and second year dental school. All students receive stipendiary support, presently $5,000.
The MMSF currently provides stipendiary support to this program. Since 1994 the MMSF has contributed $560,000 to this program.
After the second summer term and completion of his/her research, the student is required to make an oral presentation and to submit a final report. In addition, the program provides the student with an additional qualification that will serve to facilitate entry by the graduate into various advanced degree and specialty programs.
