About The Campus:

Dalhousie University and Cape Breton University entered a partnership in 2022 to establish the Cape Breton Medical Campus in Sydney, NS, with a goal of admitting the first cohort of learners in 2025. CBMC supports Nova Scotia’s health reform agenda by training culturally competent rural physicians, advancing collaborative care, and expanding interprofessional education.

• Calendar Management: The ability to build, resolve, and audit multi-layered rosters with highly variable clinical schedules.
• Clear Communication: High emotional intelligence and clarity when interacting with stressed learners, busy clinicians, and educational regulators.
• Autonomous Prioritization: Sharp troubleshooting capabilities to resolve scheduling conflicts, student absences, or clinic cancellations independently.
