About us

Strengthening communities through engagement, equity, and accountability

The Offices of Community Engagement and Serving and Engaging Society are responsible for providing support to programs, departments and schools within the Faculty in achieving greater social accountability.

Specifically, within the missions of education, research and clinical care, our mandate includes advancing: 

• Equity and diversity programs across the continuum, from student recruitment, to academic and non-academic Faculty members. We seek to build a Faculty that is inclusive and welcoming of diversity, and which appreciates diverse forms of excellence within its members. The Faculty of Medicine enhances equitable health outcomes for diverse populations with underrepresented voices in health systems
• Systems change to improve health outcomes. Dalhousie’s Faculty of Medicine is a valuable agent of socially responsible change for Maritime health systems 
• Community engagement in the design and delivery of our educational programs and in identifying priorities in our research mission.
• Environmental stewardship through socially responsible practices within the Faculty. (**Social Accountability)
