Oral presentations, table clinics, exhibitors and a keynote speaker make Baylor College of Dentistry's annual Research Day a must-do event. This year, participants can earn up to five hours of lecture/demonstration continuing education credit as well.

Set for April 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the sixth floor lobby, Room 604 and Room 605, the program is co-sponsored by the BCD Student Research Group and the Office of Research and Advanced Education. It receives additional support from the Baylor Oral Health Foundation, the American Association for Dental Research's Dallas section and participating vendors.

Keynote speaker Dr. Dominick DePaola, former BCD president and dean, will present "Impact of the New Biology on the Future of Dental Medicine." He is director and CEO of the Forsyth Institute and professor of oral health policy and epidemiology at Harvard School of Medicine.

Student Research Group sponsors
annual auction April 17

Baylor College of Dentistry's Student Research Group will host its fifth annual auction April 17 at noon in the sixth floor lobby. The silent auction begins in the B-level atrium April 15 from noon to 1 p.m., continues at the same time April 16, then concludes April 17 along with the live auction on the sixth floor.

The auction serves as SRG's major fund-raising event of the year. "Last year, the group earned more than $7,000 with the auction," said Dr. Robert Spears (BCD '02), SRG faculty adviser and assistant professor of biomedical sciences. "The money is used to finance student travel to various research meetings and to provide financial support for student research and academic activities.

"We appreciate and need continued support from everyone at BCD," he continued.

SRG auction items are donated by faculty, staff, students and vendors. To donate items or for more information about the auction, contact Spears at Ext 8297 or rspears@tambcd.edu.

"Research Day recognizes the research efforts of BCD's dental and dental hygiene students, graduate students and faculty," said Dr. Robert D. Spears (BCD '02), SRG faculty adviser and assistant professor of biomedical sciences. "It's a great opportunity to learn more about some of the research taking place at the college."

In addition to the invited speaker, Research Day features poster and oral presentation formats as well as competitions for all students that include cash awards for winners. Vendors will be on hand to provide information about various dental products.

Awards will be presented in the following student competitions: first and second place dental hygiene table clinic; first through fourth place dental student presentation; and first place graduate student in two categories (basic science and clinical science). SRG, AADR's Dallas section and Caulk/Dentsply provide the cash awards.

A schedule of events was sent via e-mail March 30. For more information, contact Spears at Ext 8297 or rspears@tambcd.edu.
