Thirty students now have their white coats and stethoscopes as the Dalhousie Medical School on the campus of UNB Saint John is officially open.
Dr. Thomas Marrie is Dean of Faculty Medicine for Dalhousie and says this set-up wouldn't be possible with-out the work of many including the Horizon Health Network, the Province and community leaders.
Dr. Marrie adds the curriculum is a very innovative approach on many fronts including students after their first year, spending a week in a rural community and after two years doing clinical rotations at hospitals in Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton.
