Cape Breton University and Dalhousie are excited to be collaborating on the development of a joint medical campus for Cape Breton. This strategic partnership will ensure more Nova Scotians will have the opportunity to receive an excellent medical education in their home province and will assist with the recruitment and retention of physicians to the Cape Breton region, and indeed to all of Nova Scotia. With a focus on family medicine and rural medicine, the Cape Breton medical campus will provide training that will greatly benefit the health needs of many communities of Nova Scotians.
