UMoncton nurse practitioner program expands thanks to funding from NB

The Government of New Brunswick is allocating $970K in funding to bolster the Université de Moncton’s nurse practitioner program. With this funding boost, the program will expand from a part-time to full-time program and increase the number of annual graduates from three to 12. This announcement comes in response to the province’s staffing shortages in the healthcare sector. UMoncton President Denis Prud’homme noted that this funding supports the school’s mission to train creative and committed healthcare professionals, adding: “I am convinced these professions will contribute to the transformation of the health system to better meet the needs of the francophone population of New Brunswick.”
