2021 Prichard Competition Held Virtually at the SWSP Winter Meeting
The 2021 John F. Prichard Graduate Research Competition was an outstanding success once again. Fourteen abstracts were submitted from the University of Colorado, University of Colorado at Denver, Air Force Postgraduate Dental School, Louisiana State University, Texas A & M College of Dentistry, University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston, University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, and UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry.
Eleven judges, from residency programs as well as clinical judges, participated in the scoring of the abstracts. Based on this review, six abstracts were selected for oral presentation.
On January 22, 2021, eleven judges heard oral presentations of the selected abstracts during the first ever Virtual Prichard Competition. The winner of the Prichard Competition in the Clinical Sciences Research Category was Dr. Michael Vieth. The winner of the Prichard Competition in the Basic Sciences Research Category was Dr. Ryushiro Sugita. Both Dr. Vieth and Dr. Sugita are with the University of Texas Health San Antonio.
Congratulations to Dr. Vieth and Dr. Sugita as well as to the other four presenters.
The awards were presented on January 23rd during the Saturday afternoon virtual Education Session. Procter & Gamble was recognized for their support of the competition. The 2021 competition once again demonstrated the exceptional research being conducted within the residency program within the Society. The written abstracts and oral presentations were outstanding. Many thanks to the Judges for their time and willingness to participate in this year’s competition.
The purpose of the Prichard Award is to establish, maintain, and encourage participation in scientific presentations to fulfill the mission and goals of the Society and honor the memory of Dr. John F. Prichard. For anyone interested in participating, learn more about the guidelines for participation at http://www.swsp.org/prichard-award-guidelines.
