This interactive session will address a pressing challenge in dental education and practice: integrating clinical research into active care settings. The high cost, time burden and rigor of dental curriculum and practice present barriers for providers to develop and implement clinical research in routine dental care. Attendees will work in small groups to develop a model clinical study that focuses on data collection strategies, collaborative team structures and practice-based research networks, and resources. The goal is to empower faculty and clinicians in both academic and nonacademic settings to pursue meaningful research with minimal disruption to patient care and clinical schedules.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe essential components of a well- designed clinical study and recognize elements that make a study strong or weak within the dental practice environment.
  • Identify ways to streamline data collection with minimal disruption to clinical workflows by combining realistic practices with well-trained collaborative teams.
  • Identify opportunities to access or participate in current clinical research opportunities.
