PhD Oral Health Sciences

The strength of the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences' PhD in Oral Health Sciences lies in the program’s unique approach to learning.

• Students are trained in numerous health-related fields and methodologies, which nourishes their own discipline-specific research and allows them to use new approaches to tackle health challenges and find new solutions to these problems.
• Students acquire the necessary skills to lead multi- and interdisciplinary research teams that combine and integrate disciplinary perspectives to address health-related issues after graduation.
• Students receive a high level of technical support and interact extensively with professors, post-doctoral fellows, research associates, and research assistants.
• Faculty members and students are involved in numerous interdisciplinary collaborations with other Centres of Excellence on campus.
• Faculty are leading experts in their fields and are dedicated to student success.
• Tenure-track faculty have more external research funding than any other Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences in Canada.

Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences graduates and PhD students look back

"I see the unique and enriching experience that had propelled me towards a career in academia. McGill's Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is an ideal environment for budding scholars looking to work with established researchers in diverse fields, ranging from bench-side basic sciences to clinical and community-based research. I was given the opportunity to lead my doctoral project with continuous guidance from my thesis supervisors, access to the most up-to-date academic resources, and support from a faculty that adopts advanced research methodologies and promotes interdisciplinary work and international collaborations. I conducted an international research project and was among the first graduate students in our faculty to use a mixed methods approach (quantitative and qualitative methodologies). Along with research experience, my doctoral studies advanced my scientific writing and teaching skills...but most-of-all it cultivated a sense of curiosity that molded me into a life-long learner"

-Nora Makansi, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences, McGill University

“It was a fantastic experience to pursue my PhD in the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences at McGill University as an international dentist. The interaction and communication between the faculty member and students are harmonious. The research projects are well-funded, students have access to almost all the facilities and resources they need. There are many collaboration opportunities with other departments in the university. Even if we have a particular requirement for research, the faculty members are supportive to help us make it happen. Moreover, I enjoyed the lectures and research seminars a lot. I am grateful for all the happy memories in the faculty with my colleagues and friends.”

-Qiman Gao, BDS, MSc (OMFS), PhD

After graduating, former students have found work in academia, various levels of government, the private sector, and in the health care system.

Dentistry (DMD/PhD)

The Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD/PhD) is a joint program which prepares students to undertake leadership roles in dental research and education.

Entry into the program is competitive. High achieving students will be recruited from the pool of Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) students undertaking the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Dentistry program option.

Currently, the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry is not offering admission to this program.

Program details

Admission requirements.

• Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry • Rady Faculty of Health Sciences

• Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) • Doctor of Dental Medicine (PhD)

Expected duration

Academic and research careers in the field of dentistry are in high demand.

Traditionally, there has been a lack of clinical dentists who incorporate research experiences and training or follow an academic career course. This has led to many unfilled faculty positions in North America and a need for dental schools to integrate research and scholarship into the curriculum to produce future leaders in dentistry.

Unique to Manitoba and Canada, The University of Manitoba has developed a joint DMD/PhD program. Our integrated program aims to:

• Develop dental clinician scientists to undertake leadership roles in dental research and education
• Provide a pipeline of qualified scientists to maintain the level of excellence of teaching and research at the College of Dentistry, University of Manitoba and other dental schools across Canada
• Train highly competent clinician scientists who will make significant advances in our basic understanding of oral infectious and systemic diseases
• Train scientists in dental diseases who can translate basic research findings into clinically relevant diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic methods

The Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry offers education and training leading to a joint Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and Doctor of Dental Medicine (PhD) degree.

Expected duration: 7 years

The DMD/PhD program is integrated into the DMD program for students undertaking the BSc in Dentistry option.

To graduate with a DMD/PhD, you must complete both the DMD program coursework (154 credit hours) and clinical experience, and PhD research requirements (oral presentation and final report). Both degrees will be awarded at the same time.

Learn more about the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program details.

Program structure

Year One: You will complete the first year of your DMD program and begin the BSc in Dentistry program in the summer.

Year Two: In the second year, a modified schedule will allow you to begin research for the PhD. Research work will occupy approximately one half of your time commitment, while the other half will be devoted to undergraduate clinical work. The second summer will be a continuation and completion of your first summer's BSc in Dentistry program research. You will also continue the PhD research you began this year.

Year Three: You will devote your time almost exclusively to PhD research with a small continuation of clinical work. The third summer will be a continuation of your research.

Year Four: The fourth year will mirror the third year with a concentration on research. The fourth summer will be a continuation of your research.

Year Five: The fifth year will include continued research effort and the collection of most of the PhD data. The summer after this year will again be focused on research.

Year Six: In the sixth year, you will shift back to the undergraduate DMD program with a small commitment to the PhD research undergraduate dental requirements sufficient for the DMD program.

Year Seven: This year will be similar to year six.

DMD/PhD students will be recruited from the pool of Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) students undertaking the BSc in Dentistry program.

After completion of the first year of the DMD program and a summer of research in a faculty laboratory, the option of undertaking the DMD/PhD will be discussed with high achieving students.

How to apply

To be considered for the DMD/PhD program you must be in enrolled in the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program and undertaking the BSc in Dentistry program option.
