Hi everyone, I'm an internationally trained dentist (Venezuela) and as many of you guys I'm also trying to get a dental licence in USA. I'm a resident and I have been working as a dental Assistant for a while....I took NBDE I & II and scored in the mid 80's....I did apply in a couple of programs withouth luck. I know there is a lot of competition. I am retaking the dental boards, and I am very interested in do research.I feel lost I don't know where or how get involved in researching.... I live in Pennsylvania. any ideas?????
Thank you for your help 😳

Hi Lisjaimes,

Every school (almost) has a research department and a department head/ research guide. Write to them along with your resume. If possible send an abstract/synopsis of area of reserch and methodology you already thought of. After all if are keen about reserach then you should have a list of feasible topics and a plan to go about each of them. In clinical subject Perio is a good area and in non/para-clinical ones try Oral/ Craniofacial biology, Orofacial Pain, or something little diffrent from dental field such artificial bone grafts etc in biomedical engineering field. Hope this helps. Good luck,

rahmed

🙂 Thanks!

you need to take TOEFL and GRE and apply to those programs at graduate schools like everybody does. i don't have the current information about GRE, but if you could score 2000+, you should be able to find one position with financial aid.
