More medical students for Dalhousie
The wave of medical school expansions that spread from British Columbia to Quebec over the last 2 years has finally washed up in Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Department of Health has asked the Dalhousie University medical school to increase enrolment by 8 students in each of the next 3 years, a move that would increase first-year enrolment to 106 students in 2003. The medical school held "town hall meetings" in November and December in an attempt to gauge the impact of the enrolment increase on the school, and it posted an online questionnaire at its Web site (www.medicine.dal.ca) seeking input on the new resources it will need. The province has also asked the school to provide 15 to 20 additional residency positions by July 2001.
