Dreaming about a future career in medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutical research or animal health? Compulsory additional advanced courses in biology and chemistry are what distinguish the Health Science Profile from the Pure and Applied Science Profile. Dawson’s Health Science Profile is the most popular CEGEP program in Quebec. If accepted, you will be part of a brilliant and curious learning community that includes Quebec’s future leaders in research, industry and academia.

Health Science at Dawson was the perfect preparation for university. It gave me the opportunity to learn, become autonomous, have fun and make life-long memories and friendships.
— Sophie E.
