Dal Med NB Associate Dean Dr. Jennifer Hall says the students begin their training in August.
She says they start their first two years in Saint John doing a lot of non-clinical things and they gradually incorporate themselves into clinics and hospitals across the province.
Post-Secondary, Training and Labour Minister Donald Arsenault says Dalhousie Medicine NB is in the middle of a beautiful cluster with many economic opporotunites with the Allied Health Building ,the Regional Hospital and UNB Saint John nearby.
