About the SRG

Who are you guys?
  • The SRG is composed of dental students who are interested in scientific inquiry.
  • Many of us have already conducted research in some capacity, or plan to do so in the future.
  • However, research experience is not necessary to be a member – only interest!
Why do research as a dental student?
  • Research helps one gain an appreciation and understanding of evidence based learning established by systematic methods.
  • Research helps establish a new way of organized thinking.
  • Ultimately, our exposure to the scientific method will augment our skills as practitioners enabling us to discriminate between products that have been proven through clinical trials, versus advertising claims of companies geared towards sales of dental products.
Word! How do I get involved?
  • Since the summer between first and second years is open, this is a great time in which to do a large amount of research. Get involved as soon as possible -- however, it's never too late!
    • Get connected with a faculty mentor.
    • Apply for funding.
    • Rock and roll.
  • For more information, don't hesitate to contact SRG President Vicky Chen.
