The Bachelor of Science Dental Hygiene is a three-year program. To enroll in the Dental Hygiene program, students must complete at least one pre-professional year before admission.
The Dental Hygiene curriculum includes courses in biomedical, behavioural, and clinical sciences. In each year of the program, students participate in external practicum experiences within the city and surrounding districts in various community settings, such as hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, and community agencies/clinics. An experience in an external rural clinic is required before graduation.
The Dental Hygiene program is structured as a “lock step” program. A lock-step program is one in which the students are admitted as a cohort and take their courses together in a specified sequence (offered only once per year). Courses are offered in a sequence, whereby the knowledge, skills, and attitudes build throughout the year. Academic and practice experiences are mapped throughout the 3 years of the Dental Hygiene Program continuously, not as discrete experiences.
