The course is open to any oral and maxillofacial surgeon with an interest in study design including residents, fellow, faculty, and private practitioners. More specifically, it is intended for OMS interested in designing a clinical trial and developing a study protocol. It will also be of value to practitioners who must critically evaluate the literature of published clinical trials and assess the merits of each trial and the implications for the care and treatment of patients. Ideally, a resident and a faculty mentor pair will attend the course. Residents will also have the opportunity to interact with course faculty and faculty from other programs who are in attendance. A limited number of dental students who have been accepted into an OMS residency program or those who have a strong interest in attending an OMS residency program are also invited to register for the course.
