Æ»¹ûÒùÔº

Applicants to the General Practice Residency Program (GPR) must have received, or be in the final year of a course of study leading to a Doctorate in Dental Surgery or equivalent accredited program. Successful candidates must be in receipt of this degree by the time of registration in the first year of the program. Official transcripts for the dental degree must contain categorical or numerical grades for every course completed. Narrative transcripts are not acceptable.

Selection of residents is based on academic standing and personal interviews. Applicants must be graduates of an accredited Canadian or U.S. dental school and be eligible for licensure in Quebec.

Candidates who have not graduated from high school in the province of Quebec must have successfully fulfilled the French language requirements of the Office québécois de la langue française before applying. For more information, please consult www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/prospective/gpr.

Applications to the GPR program will be available online starting August 15 and must be submitted online by September 30 (www.mcgill.ca/applying, program: Dental Residency, GPR).

Further details may be obtained by contacting the General Practice Residency Program of the Faculty of Dentistry at graduate.dentistry [at] mcgill.ca.

Æ»¹ûÒùÔº's online application form for program candidates is available at www.mcgill.ca/applying/how/online.

See www.mcgill.ca/applying for detailed application procedures.

Required Documents

Applicants are required to use the document upload feature on Minerva to ensure their documents are added to their file. All documents can be uploaded except for letters of reference; these need to be sent in PDF format directly by the referees (using a professional email address) to assunta.pompeo [at] mcgill.ca. Do NOT mail or fax a copy of the documents that you have already uploaded to your application—doing so will slow down the review of your application.

Official copies of transcripts can be sent to the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Documentation Centre:

• Æ»¹ûÒùÔº – Enrolment Services
• Student Records
• 3415 McTavish Street
• Room MS 13
• Montreal QC H3A 0C8
• CANADA

Please be sure to include your Æ»¹ûÒùÔº I.D. number on ALL supporting documents.

1. Official Transcripts of all previous university education

   Applicants may upload a copy of their unofficial transcript via Minerva. If offered admission, at that time, students must make arrangements with their college and/or university to send official transcripts to Æ»¹ûÒùÔº.

   Important: Official transcripts sent to Æ»¹ûÒùÔº become the property of the University and will not be returned or forwarded to other institutions.

   Current Æ»¹ûÒùÔº students are not required to send transcripts by mail. Æ»¹ûÒùÔº's admitting office obtains these directly. All other applicants must make arrangements with their college and/or university to send official transcripts to Æ»¹ûÒùÔº.

2. A Minimum of Three Reference Reports or Letters
   • One from the Dean of your School
   • Confidential letters of recommendation from two dental professors who are familiar with your academic ability and who have agreed to supply references

   You must send a copy of the Confidential Reference Report [.pdf] (available at www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/prospective/gpr) to your referees to be completed. Please note that Confidential Reference Reports cannot be uploaded on Minerva as they need to be sent directly by your referees (see instructions above). The reports must be sent in PDF format directly by the referee via a professional email address to assunta.pompeo [at] mcgill.ca.

3. CV and Letter of Intent

Make sure to include your name and Æ»¹ûÒùÔº ID number with each submission.
