Dalhousie University general internal medicine resident, Dr. Thomas Brothers, has taken a deep dive into addiction treatment and harm reduction services at the Saint John Regional Hospital and the QEII, and results show there is room for improvement.

The way you conduct those rapid tests is about to change, though, thanks to evidence collected by Dalhousie and Nova Scotia Health experts.

Dalhousie is now home to another research chair. Matthew Herder, associate professor in the Department of Pharmacology, jointly appointed in the Schulich School of Law, and director of the Health Law Institute, is one of seven newly appointed Applied Public Health Chairs announced today by the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR).

Late in 2021 we said goodbye to Dr. Richard B. Goldbloom, who passed away in Halifax, NS on November 19 at the age of 96. A compassionate pediatrician, educator, chief of pediatrics, and director of research (1967-1985), he was instrumental in bringing world class clinical care to the IWK Hospital for Children (now the IWK Health Centre) in Halifax. He was also a wonderful father, patron of the arts and civic organizations, and a philanthropist, who led with charm and by personal example when communicating with donors.
