Support for students in francophone minority communities
We support students and community partners working to strengthen Francophone representation in the health professions and improve access to French-language health services throughout the Maritimes.
We continue to support and connect students with opportunities to engage in Francophone health, including student-led initiatives and opportunities offered by community partners.
We maintain connections with Réseau Santé Nouvelle Écosse and, Université Sainte-Anne and support opportunities that connect students with Francophone communities and organizations working to advance French-language health and health services.
