Research Track Program

The Research Track is intended for students who are committed to obtaining a concentrated research experience during dental school. Most of the students in this program have an interest in an academic career.

The goal of the Research Track program is to allow students to maintain a connection with clinical, translational or laboratory research during the entire 4 years of dental school at UFCD. The Research Track program requires dental students to commit on average a minimum of 4 to 6 hours per week to the research program with an eligible mentor.

Students who complete the Research Track will be eligible for Research Track Honors and High Research Track Honors
