Program details

Overview

This Maitrise es sciences (M.Sc.) in dental sciences specializes in gerodontology, the branch of dentistry addressing oral health care for older adults. The 45-credit program combines theoretical courses, seminars, research activities, and a thesis, with research that may be fundamental, evaluative, or clinical in nature. Students train within the faculty's own clinics, which see more than 40,000 patients annually. Applicants must secure a research supervisor during their first term of enrolment. The nominal full-time length is two years. Admission is offered in the fall and summer terms. No standardized English test is required, though reading proficiency in English is expected given the research literature in the field. The program prepares graduates for research and advanced clinical roles addressing the dental and oral health needs of aging populations.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must have been admitted to the Formation dentaire specialisee en gerodontologie program, hold a Doctor of Dental Medicine or Doctor of Dental Surgery degree or equivalent, and hold a practising licence from the Ordre des dentistes du Quebec or be eligible for a restricted licence. Applicants must secure a research supervisor during their first term of enrolment.
