School of Dentistry Anthology | October 2024 Edition
The OHSU School of Dentistry Anthology is available to download or view online
The third edition of the School of Dentistry Anthology features how dental students are encouraged to share their creative ideas through rapid cycles of innovation and prototype building.
The Oct. 2024 publication details a student-led group that coordinates multicultural activities, often centered around food, to familiarize OHSU members with the richness of cultural diversity.
The issue demonstrates the gap in oral health care students discovered in the local homeless community and the clinic they launched to address the problem.
Finally, we describe how innovation unfolds when we first listen and watch how people interact with their environment.
Sharing scholarly work
The online academic publication allows for the OHSU School of Dentistry to share its scholarly work.
The publication is peer reviewed, fully citable and searchable through the OHSU Library Digital Collections.
The purposes are to:
- Encourage scientific and clinical collaboration and discovery.
- Give students, post-doctoral scholars, residents and junior faculty a way to communicate their discoveries on a platform with a short publication cycle and no fees.
- Introduce students and new investigators to the publication process, including writing, peer review and editing.
- Showcase the school’s expertise in original research, case studies, critically reviewed topics, reviews or commentary.
- Promote the school’s visibility and reputation in the research and dental communities by demonstrating its expertise and advances in oral health.
