Research requirements
An important and required part of the resident educational experience
at the University of Connecticut Affiliated Program is submission
of an abstract for the Annual AAOMS Scientific Session and preparation
of a paper suitable for publication. The abstract must be submitted
by April 1st of the year prior to completion of the program and the
paper completed by the middle of the final year of the program. The
abstract and paper may be a report of cases with literature review,
a description of a new technique, an essay dealing with any significant
aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery, a report based on a research
project, or any other topic approved by the faculty.
Because of the necessary deadlines, it is essential that each resident
choose a topic during the second year. The subject of the paper should
be discussed with the assigned faculty advisor. The project does not
need to be performed with the assigned advisor; it can be done under
the supervision of others among the faculty and attending surgeons
community-wide; however, it is the resident’s responsibility
to keep the assigned advisor informed of progress on the paper.
The project must progress to the point that by April 1 prior to
the year of program completion an abstract can be prepared and submitted
for presentation at the Annual AAOMS meeting; attendance at the meeting
is contingent upon the submission of an abstract. The final manuscript
for submission for publication will be completed by January 30th of
the final year.
There are two main opportunities for research projects. First, residents
may participate in ongoing faculty research projects. Second, the
resident with a strong interest in a specific project will be encouraged
to design such a project and will receive faculty support of his/her
clinical or laboratory experimental endeavors.
