At Dalhousie Medical School, we foster self-motivated learning, critical thinking, and clinical problem-solving. We expose you to a clinical setting in the first year of studies, believing that being at the bed side sooner is better than later. We facilitate learning in teaching sites around the Maritime provinces, believing in diverse experience. We integrate medical humanities at every level, believing that you will then become a compassionate caregiver, a good communicator, and a balanced individual.
At Dalhousie Medical School, communications skills, medical ethics, medical humanities, and medical research are interwoven into the curriculum from day one. These are truly vital components. Our commitment to training outstanding physicians is evident at every level from undergraduate to postgraduate to continuing medical education. And our research in the field of medical education enriches our own programs as well as those of other medical schools.
From humble beginnings, the medical school has grown into the largest health research faculty in Atlantic Canada. Today it occupies three dedicated buildings and incorporates a network of more than 100 teaching sites throughout Maritime Canada, including nine affiliated teaching hospitals. The school boasts more than 1,300 faculty members, and has 21 clinical and basic science departments, 380 undergraduate medical students, 450 postgraduates (residents), and 270 graduate students. Since its founding, the school has graduated more than 7,000 physicians and has contributed to the training of at least as many research scientists. Although most Dalhousie-trained physicians have gone on to practice in the Maritime provinces, Dalhousie medical graduates and researchers fill positions in many of the world's top medical institutions.

Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
