At the forefront of health and well‑being
For more than 200 years, Dalhousie University has delivered academic excellence on Canada’s extraordinary east coast. Today, we are a research powerhouse with a diverse and engaging community that continually contributes to a better province, country and world.
Dal’s researchers are examining all aspects of medicine and healthy living. We train most of Atlantic Canada’s health care workers in practice-based programs. And these experts and learners extend their skills into the community to provide health, dental, and medical care where it’s needed most.
