Program details

Overview

This is Universite Laval's Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) programme, a first-entry professional degree covering the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental diseases. It develops clinical judgment grounded in theoretical knowledge so graduates can practise as general dentists across a broad range of patient cases and dental specialties. The programme runs four years (eleven sessions) of full-time, on-campus study: laboratory work takes place in years one and two, followed by supervised clinical practice in dental cubicles in years three and four. Admission requires a DEC in Natural Sciences with completed chemistry and biology courses, or an equivalent pre-university credential with an adequate science background. Candidates must pass the visual perception component of the Canadian Dental Aptitude Test (TAED) with a minimum score of 15 out of 30, and complete the Casper situational judgment examination. Selection weighs academic file quality, Casper results, and a structured interview.
