Getting involved with the Faculty is easy. There are many ways that you can be involved with the Faculty. Just a few of them are listed below.
Mentorship program
The Student Mentorship Program was inaugurated in 2014-2015 by Dr. Norman P. Miller following a generous philanthropic gift to the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences. We are constantly recruiting alumni to be part of our mentorship program. Matching is based on several factors beginning with the goals and areas of interested as stated by the mentees when they filled out their registration questionnaire. Mentors will be assigned either one or two mentees based on these matching criteria. It's an enriching experience for both students and alums!
Alumni Awards
Dentistry Alumni Awards are amongst the most prestigious honours given out by the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences. Every year at the much anticipated White Coat Ceremony, an evening to honour the third year dental class through the donning of white coats and celebrate the passage from the classroom to the clinic, these awards are given to undergraduate and graduate students in recognition of their excellence and talent in the classroom and beyond.
Outstanding Alumnus Award
The Outstanding Alumnus Award recognizes and celebrates a McGill Dentistry graduate for his or her exceptional contributions to the Faculty and the dental profession in general. The winners are nominated by their peers and a call for nominations is sent at the beginning of every year.
This award is to recognize and reward alumni of McGill’s Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences who have demonstrated, over a period of time, exceptional contributions to the Faculty and commitment to the betterment of dentistry in various ways.
