Because Innovation and Exploration Go Hand in Hand
Research is the lifeblood of innovation. That’s why DENTSPLY GAC, as part of the GCARE initiative, has created the GCARE Research Award for Orthodontic residents. This annual award is designed to promote and recognize excellence in clinical or translational research with residents.
Through an anonymous judging panel three winners each received a cash reward, along with an unrestricted education grant for their program’s orthodontic department. All awardees received airfare, three nights lodging and complementary registration fees to the 2016 Orthodontic World Congress at the Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, FL. Winning abstracts were on display at the conference and awards were presented at the Dine on the Diamond Dinner and Reception in Marlins Park.
Congratulations to all of our award winners; we look forward to awarding next year’s recipients!
