Pictou County

Pictou County is uniquely situated on the northeastern part of Nova Scotia, close to rural hubs and transportation ports with quick access to provincial, national and international destinations.

Pictou County offers a welcoming, down-to-earth community where learners quickly feel at home. With Aberdeen as the central hub and experiences across nearby towns, you’ll see how care is delivered in both hospital and community settings. It’s a great place to learn how medicine connects closely with the people and communities it serves.
