Program Details

Core internal medicine

The four-year core internal medicine residency program is built on the principle of graded responsibility. It's designed to enable you to comfortably take on greater clinical responsibility over time in a supportive, respectful environment.

Scholarly activity

As a resident, you'll produce at least one academic project each year: a formal research project, a case report, a medical education project or a quality assurance project. Time can be allocated from your schedule to facilitate research, in the form of half-days or a one-month block. Research grants are available through the Department of Medicine, Nova Scotia Health Authority and Dalhousie Medical School.

Program description for the Dalhousie Core IM Residency Program is available via CaRMS.

Residents are encouraged to attend one conference each year, the cost of which is subsidized by the Department of Medicine. If residents chose to present research at a conference, they're eligible for subsidized funding for a second meeting.
