In addition to championing the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion in all areas, the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is committed to implementing a strategic roadmap to further our shared goals of creating a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment for all students, staff, faculty, and of course, every member of the Montreal community and beyond that is served by the Faculty's Service to the Community Program. Our strategic roadmap will continue to evolve and be updated as needed.
