Cape Breton Regional Municipality

Sydney offers a diverse and dynamic setting with a wide range of clinical experiences. You’ll work in a larger regional centre while still feeling connected to the community. It’s a great place to see both complexity and continuity in care.

Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney, serves as the primary academic hub for Sydney LIC Program, hosting the majority of specialties and hospital-based learning experiences.  Learners are integrated into a collaborative and supportive healthcare environment that serves the broader regions of Cape Breton County.

Your longitudinal Family Medicine experience may be based in Sydney or one of the surrounding communities, including North Sydney, Glace Bay, New Waterford or Eskasoni, providing a comprehensive family medicine experience in a variety of community settings.
