N 2381 Perio Basic Science Seminars
The Perio Basic Sciences seminar was developed as a means to officially prepare for basic sciences elements of the National In-Service Examination and allow for structured time to highlight important scientific concepts that play a key role in the pathophysiology of periodontal disease. The seminar will be driven by resident research and short presentations on topics selected by the program leadership. Presentations should not be longer than 30 minutes in duration and residents must submit a topic review sheet that will serve as a study guide for all residents. While general scientific concepts are appropriate to include in the review, residents should focus on the clinical relevance of the topic and the link to periodontal disease. Residents will be graded on their presentation and topic review sheet submission.
