The Dentistry Preparatory Qualifying Year (or Dent-P Year) is open to immediate graduates of the Quebec Collegial (CEGEP) System.
The Dent-P Year combines a preparatory year in the Faculty of Sciences followed by the four year D.M.D. Program in the Faculty of Dentistry. The objective of the Dent-P Year is to offer students the opportunity to adapt to university-level academics before entering the rigorous curriculum of the D.M.D. Program.
The Dent-P Year consists of two consecutive semesters of a Bachelor of Science-style curriculum. Students are officially registered in the Faculty of Science during their preparatory year and must complete the required courses and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 to continue on to the D.M.D. Program.
