Predoctoral Student Research
The predoctoral student research program at Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry offers a mentored experience in which dental students work hands-on with faculty researchers. The program has provided valuable educational experiences to predoctoral students for 20 plus years.The principal goals of the Predoctoral Student Research Program are:
- to enhance the educational experience of predoctoral dental students and
- to encourage and facilitate development of the future generation of dental clinician-scientists and educators.
Predoctoral Student Research Fellowships funded by the Baylor Oral Health Foundation (BOHF) provide short-term stipend support for up to 3 months, principally during the summer months, for mentored research training for dental students. BOHF Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. BOHF Fellows are also provide the opportunity to present their research projects at the annual meeting of the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and at the annual TAMBCD Student Research Day. Students whose presentations at Student Research Day are judged to be the best are selected to represent TAMBCD at the annual Hinman Student Research Symposium in Memphis, TN.
