Southwest Nova

South West Nova has a strong sense of community, where learners are welcomed and supported from day one. You’ll experience a wide scope of practice and see how care is delivered across distances and settings. It’s a place where learning is closely tied to real community needs.

Yarmouth Regional Hospital in Yarmouth, serves as the primary academic hub for Southwest Nova LIC, 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 Digby, Yarmouth and Shelburne Counties.

Your longitudinal Family Medicine experience may be based in Yarmouth or one of the surrounding communities, including Digby, Shelburne or Clare, providing a comprehensive family medicine experience in a variety of community settings.
