Doctor of Dental Medicine

Program Overview

The dental medicine training leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine is organized as follows:

A preclinical cycle composed of the first three years, during which there are subjects in basic sciences, medical subjects, and dental subjects (odontological sciences). During this preclinical cycle, two English modules are taught: one in the first year, which is annual, and the other in the second year, which is semester-based.
A clinical cycle consisting of the fourth and fifth years, during which there are odontological subjects combined with clinical and medical internships.
A sixth year, referred to as the "internship," which consists of two six-month clinical internships as well as the defense of a final thesis.

Teaching Language : The Dental Medicine curriculum includes two English modules (in the first and second years) to strengthen students' proficiency in English. However, all subjects taught in the dental medicine program are delivered in French.
