Cape Breton Medical Campus Prepares to Welcome First Students!
The Cape Breton Medical Campus is nearing a major milestone as we prepare to welcome the inaugural class of medical students in August 2025!
We look forward to supporting 30 students from across Nova Scotia who have embraced the opportunity to pursue family and rural medicine as future physicians in their home province. The CBMC, adjacent to Cape Breton University’s main campus in Sydney, Nova Scotia, is the result of a partnership with Dalhousie University to offer a rural pathway designed to support recruitment and retention of doctors, which will greatly benefit the health needs of many Nova Scotians.
As we countdown to the start of classes at the CBMC, the team is finalizing the details of student orientation, including registration, social and ceremonial events to welcome the CBMC’s Class of 2029!
