CBU announces new medical campus

Cape Breton University and Dalhousie University have announced that they will be collaborating on the development of a joint medical campus. In a recent province address, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced that the medical school is expected to begin taking students in 2025, if not earlier. The medical school will be housed in provincially owned buildings that were used by Nova Scotia Community College, which in turn will be moving to downtown Sydney, NS. The buildings will house the school of nursing, school of social work, and a 10,000-person clinic that will provide services to the community.
