The province will be funding more seats for Nova Scotians to study to become doctors. In the fall, there will be five more first-year seats in the Doctor of Medicine program at Dalhousie University. Another five seats will be added in 2026. With the additional seats, there will be 99 first-year seats in the program at Dalhousie’s Halifax campus and 30 first-year seats at the Cape Breton medical campus. Of these seats, 114 are reserved for Nova Scotia students for 2025. The remaining are designated for six Prince Edward Island residents and nine people from outside the Maritimes. If any of these designated seats remain unfilled, priority is given to Nova Scotian residents.
