PhD in Medical Sciences (Oral Biology) is offered for post-DDS applicants or for those proceeding from a MSc or equivalent degree. Applicants to the program must identify a faculty member willing to supervise them prior to application to the program.
The program is research-oriented, consisting of didactic courses, original research carried out under supervision, and preparation and completion of a thesis. It is not a clinical program leading to clinical specialization and is unrelated to licensure. Admission to graduate programs is dependent upon the recommendation of the department’s Graduate Committee. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Candidates for the PhD degree in Medical Sciences are accepted under the general regulations of the Medical Sciences Graduate Program. Completion of a DDS or equivalent degree is required, with a grade point average of at least 3.0 (or equivalent qualification) in the last 60 units of course weight of their dental program.
