Service to the Community
A first-class outreach program
With a goal of creating socially aware and culturally sensitive dental practitioners committed to improving access to oral health care, the Faculty has developed a multi-faceted community outreach program that offers free mobile and fixed location dental clinics to Montrealers in need of dental care.
Patients receive excellent care and in turn DMD students gain skills and experience from the procedures they perform, preparing them to become dentists.

Our undergraduate and graduate students rely heavily on financial aid in the form of bursaries, scholarships, awards, and prizes.
Undergraduate Students: In 2016, 80% of our dental medicine students relied on need-based government aid, and this number is steadily increasing. Across 91社区, only 35% of students relied on need-based government aid.
Graduate Students: Within the past 10 years, the number of students enrolled in our graduate studies programs has increased 2.7 times in size, or at a rate of a 25% increase per year. Despite this increase, the number of Student Trainee Funding Possibilities 鈥� or Studentship Awards 鈥� has remained the same.
