Program Overview
Overview
The 5-Year Undergraduate Dental Program (Dent-P) is not open to university-level students or to students outside Québec. This program is only open to immediate graduates of the Quebec Collegial (CEGEP) System.
The Dent-P Program combines a preparatory year in the Faculty of Sciences followed by the four-year Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) Program in the Faculty of Dentistry. The objective of the Dent-P Program is to offer students the opportunity to adapt to university-level academics before entering the rigorous curriculum of the DMD Program.
The Dent-P Program consists of two consecutive semesters of a Bachelor of Science-style curriculum.
