The funding system of American dentist scientist and its enlightenment / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To provide reference for the cultivation of stomatologist scientists in China by comparison and learning from the development of dental scientist training funding system in the United States.Methods:The development, training funding system and evaluation system of dental scientists in the United States were analyzed through literature review, and compared with the training of dental scientists in Chinese context.Results:The training of American dental scientists started early, and the funding system covered the whole process of dental students' learning and career choice; tailored measurements were adopted to deal with challenges and difficulties during the training process. On the other hand, the training of stomatologist scientists in China started late, the methods are diverse but uneven. In this paper, it is proposed to enhance the training by strengthening the construction of the training and funding system of stomatologist scientists, encouraging the collaboration between professional societies and colleges and universities, establishing specific funds and balancing the weight of clinical and scientific research in the teaching system.Conclusions:The funding system for the training of dental scientists in the United States can be used as a reference for optimizing the training of dental scientists in China.
