It was on CTV News that they just officially opened the new medical campus at CBU. Nice looking building.
I started medical school in Halifax in 1979. At that time the only options were Dalhousie in Halifax and MUN in St. John's.
If you had told me back then that at the end of my career that there would be six medical campuses in Atlantic Canada, I would not have believed you.
Halifax - Dalhousie University.
Sydney - CBU (Dalhousie)
Charlottetown - UPEI (MUN)
Moncton - UdeM (Sherbrooke)
Saint John - UNBSJ (Dalhousie)
St. John's - MUN
The only larger city not getting in on the fun is Fredericton.
I am still not entirely sold on the satellite campus concept. A lot of the instruction time is virtual, the affiliated hospitals are smaller and less specialized, and a couple of the campuses are designed to be for training of family physicians and not specialists. It does make you wonder about the quality of the education........
