On Friday, February 8th, buzzes of excitement were coming from the second floor Clinic of the AV俱乐部 Dentistry Building. It was the roar of energetic students sharing their research assignments at the annual Student Table Clinic Night.
Table clinics are a tabletop demonstration combined with a brief oral presentation in which students present on a topic that they have extensively researched. The students are paired with a faculty advisor and are given the opportunity to choose a topic of their interest. The topic must be in areas that are being developed through research, are new, or are controversial. The topic also must be of Continuing Education interest to clinicians.
As part of the course curriculum, students are required to present their research topics on Student Table Clinic Night. The event welcomes dental care providers as well as members of the university community. There are also dental care providers who volunteer their time and act as judges for the projects, helping to determine the winners at the end of the evening.
鈥淭able Clinics is a great event to showcase all the hard work and efforts the students have put in,鈥� says Prof. Peggy Maillet, event coordinator and Assistant Professor in the School of Dental Hygiene. 鈥淚t is wonderful to see the students demonstrating such passion for their topics, and to be able to learn a few new things myself!鈥�
This year the big winners were third-year dentistry student Kate Broderson (鈥淚mplant Abutment Selection: Which Abutment to Choose?), and second-year dental hygiene students Morgan Hanrahan and Keri MacNeil (鈥淣ew, Non-Controversial, Convenient Sources of Stem Cells could lead to Tomorrow鈥檚 Cures鈥�).
