Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.

Hello,

My name is Bruce Zhang, and I am a 3rd years OMFS resident at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. We are conducting a research project (IRB #5470) to better understand the perspectives of aspiring oral and maxillofacial surgeons regarding the two available residency tracks. The research is a simple 5min anonymous online survey. Any dental student interested in pursuing oral and maxillofacial surgery are welcome to participate.

Having done my dental school in Montreal, I would like to include Canadian dental students in this paper. Would you be able to distribute the survey information to dental students at the University of Manitoba? I have attached a letter as well for convenience.
