Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology

Program Description

In response to a request from the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research to provide Institutional Training for a Dental and Craniofacial Workforce, the University of Florida College of Dentistry has developed a Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology. The program builds on twenty years of successful training of basic and clinician scientists in oral health research. Using the extensive educational, scientific and clinical resources at our University, we provide a comprehensive series of pre- and postdoctoral training opportunities in research areas that directly relate to oral health and diseases. Our programs produce highly skilled and interactive scientists who are prepared to generate new knowledge and translate their discoveries to advances in the detection, prevention, treatment and cure of diseases and abnormalities of the oral and craniofacial complex.
