Dal expands medicine program through $2.2M investment from NS

Dalhousie University will be using a $2.2M investment from the Government of Nova Scotia to expand its Doctor of Medicine program. This Fall, five additional seats for students from Nova Scotia will be added to the program; another five first-year seats will be added in 2026-27. As a result of this investment, 2025-26 will see 114 seats reserved for students from Nova Scotia, six reserved for students from Prince Edward Island, and nine reserved for students from outside the Maritimes. Through investments in our postsecondary partners, we are training the doctors we need today and for tomorrow,” said NS Minister of Advanced Education Brendan Maguire.
