Our commitment is to improve the quality of life of those populations that are most affected by the social determinants of health. We offer educational opportunities and services to communities in ways that meet the needs of patients, cultivate mutual respect, and engage people in defining their needs and aspirations. The services are provided in consultation with Indigenous leaders, community members and elders in a culturally appropriate way. 

Dental Therapy Program 

The two-year Bachelor of Science in Dental Therapy program focuses on dental care for Indigenous people and communities. Student selection criteria prioritizes Indigenous students. The program provides students with the skills and knowledge to support their work and life in Indigenous communities. It is the only dental therapy program in Canada. 

 

Inclusive Community Care Fund 

Donor support for the Inclusive Community Care Fund will helps fund the operation of dental clinics serving Indigenous populations in defined partner communities in Saskatchewan. These initiatives improve access to oral health care for underserved populations. For students, the clinics foster understanding around social responsibility and offer insight on how physical, social, cultural, psychological, and economic factors affect oral health.
