Dreaming of a career in medicine, dentistry or health and life sciences? The Health and Life Sciences Profile is designed for students with a particular interest in biology and chemistry.
The first year gives students a wide variety of courses in science disciplines. The second year allows students to go deeper into disciplines related to health science. They will take the prerequisite courses for medicine: Human Anatomy and Physiology; and Organic Chemistry. In addition, they will have guaranteed spots in courses related to health and environmental science for their Integrative Project.
Students in this profile are part of a brilliant and curious learning community. Dawson’s Health and Life Sciences students are Quebec’s future leaders in medicine, research, industry and academia.
The Enriched Science program has taught me to think outside of the box when it comes to science. I enjoy being able to solve complex problems with my peers in an interactive classroom, designing my own lab experiments, and partaking in multiple extra-curricular activities that fuel my passion about science as a whole!— Mahan M.
