HEALTHSep 25Dow International Dental College honours house officers at 5th Research DayKARACHI: Dow International Dental College (DIDC), Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), celebrated the completion of house-job training and showcased young dental researchers at its House Job Certificate Distribution Ceremony and 5th House Officer Research Day 2026. Held at the DIDC Chanesar Campus, the event brought together the college's 2026 House Officers to mark their clinical training achievements and highlight research projects presented during the fifth edition of the House Officer Research Day. The ceremony was attended by Prof. Dr. Nazli Hossain, Vice Chancellor, Dow University of Health Sciences, who served as the Chief Guest, while Prof. Dr. Amynah Charana Shaikh, Principal, Dow International Dental College, led the event. The programme combined two milestones for the graduating House Officers: the completion of their house-job training and an opportunity to present research undertaken across different departments of the dental college. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery project takes first prize The research competition featured projects from various departments of Dow International Dental College, with the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery department securing the First Prize. The winning research project was titled “CCN1 Expression and Its Association with Field Cancerization in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.” The study title reflects research into CCN1 expression and its association with field cancerization in oral squamous cell carcinoma, placing oral cancer research among the key academic highlights of this year's House Officer Research Day. The Second Prize was awarded to the General Pathology department. The Third Prize went to the Dental Materials department for its project titled “Bio functional Modification of Restorative GIC with Miswak Extract.” Together, the winning projects represented research interests spanning oral cancer, pathology and dental materials, demonstrating the range of subjects explored by House Officers during the research day. House Officers showcase clinical and academic progress The event was also a recognition of the clinical and academic journey completed by the 2026 House Officers. House-job training represents an important stage in the transition from undergraduate dental education to professional clinical practice, providing graduates with structured exposure to patient care and clinical responsibilities. At DIDC, the certificate distribution ceremony marked the successful completion of this training for the graduating House Officers. The event therefore served not only as a research competition but also as a formal recognition of the House Officers' progression through their clinical training. Research becomes part of the House Officer experience The fifth edition of the House Officer Research Day placed research alongside clinical training in the programme's recognition of young dental professionals. Projects presented by different departments gave House Officers an opportunity to engage with research questions relevant to oral healthcare, dental materials and pathology. The first-prize project on CCN1 expression and field cancerization in oral squamous cell carcinoma particularly highlighted an area of research with relevance to understanding changes associated with oral cancer. Meanwhile, the Dental Materials project exploring modification of restorative glass ionomer cement (GIC) with Miswak extract reflected an interest in developing and evaluating dental materials through locally relevant research approaches. The provided event information does not specify the individual House Officers or research teams behind each project, so the awards are attributed to their respective departments. DUHS leadership marks completion of training The presence of Prof. Dr. Nazli Hossain, Vice Chancellor of Dow University of Health Sciences, as Chief Guest underscored the university-level recognition of the House Officers' academic and clinical achievements. Prof. Dr. Amynah Charana Shaikh, Principal of Dow International Dental College, led the ceremony as the institution celebrated the graduating House Officers and their research contributions. The combination of certificate distribution and research presentations made the event a recognition of both practical clinical training and academic engagement. Certificates conclude the 2026 House Officer milestone The event concluded with the distribution of House Job Certificates to the graduating House Officers, formally marking their successful completion of training. For the 2026 House Officers, the ceremony brought together the culmination of their house-job experience and recognition of their participation in academic research. The fifth House Officer Research Day also provided a platform for departments to highlight research projects while encouraging a culture of academic inquiry alongside clinical dentistry at Dow International Dental College.
