Building awareness in the dental community about research activities is a priority for the Faculty. UBC Dentistry’s annual Research Day is a yearly forum to highlight the Faculty’s current research accomplishments. One of the main goals of the day is to link basic science and clinical applications through a program of presentations. Faculty speak to select topics that are relevant to a clinical case. Research Day has now grown to reach beyond its own constituents to include people from multiple disciplines across the university and the Vancouver area, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and private practitioners.
