I am in my third semester of the program of Natural Science. As I already said on my last post this program can prepared you to universitie's studies in biology, engineering or health science. However, I will continue CEGEP in a Dental-Hygiene technique. Then, this glossary deals with the technique. Dental-Hygiene is a health profession involving theory and evidence-based practice.
