Our Student Affairs team is here to support you through every stage of your undergraduate medical education. Whether you’re navigating a transition, facing new challenges, or reflecting on your growth, we’re here to help you find balance and stay connected to what matters most.
Our work spans wellness, academics, career development, and financial guidance – but at its core, its about supporting you as a whole person. We aim to build trusted relationships, foster community, and create space for honest conversations about the ups and downs of medical education.
I’m looking forward to working with you, hearing your stories, and walking alongside you as you continue your journey in medicine. Please reach out any time—we’re here for you!

A Message from Dr. Lisa Sutherland
On behalf of the DMNB Student and Resident Affairs team, Welcome! We are excited to get to know you and for you to get to know our DMNB Student and Resident Affairs team. We provide confidential individual appointments and encourage you to connect with us early on to explore resources in the domains of wellness, academics, career planning, and financial matters.
Medical school may be the first time you consider connecting with a support service like ours. We hope to build trusted and enduring relationships with you to help you navigate the journey through any ups and downs. Common reasons why learners may reach to us include managing stress, academic difficulty, personal wellbeing, financial questions, and career planning questions. By learning together as peers in a variety of formats and being open to approaches, you will develop vital skills in collegiality, communication, giving and receiving feedback, and professionalism. We will present various small group and full class sessions to you over the years and welcome your feedback as you go.
Collectively, at Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, we will build a sense of inclusiveness and community through sharing of experiences and insights to help you thrive in medical school. Please drop by our office on campus or explore our website for more detailed information on how Student and Resident Affairs may work alongside you these next years. Reach out early, reach out often — we are here for you!
Reach out early, reach out often, Student Affairs is here for you!
