Not only does our residency program provide rigorous clinical training to the next generation of urologists, we also offer undergraduate medical electives and a highly-rated clinical clerkship program for third-year medical students. Our research program boasts numerous pioneering clinical trials and patient studies.

We care for our community by offering clinical practice through the Nova Scotia Health (NSH) web sites, which include:
