, the grassroots physician-led community effort focused on the attraction and retention of healthcare providers and students to Pictou County, is helping to support local students with medical school aspirations with a new study group that helps prepare students for the Medical College Admissions Test and other admission requirements.

The opening of the Cape Breton Medical Campus, slated for the fall of 2025, will add 30 additional seats to the Dalhousie School of Medicine's annual admissions, making the launch of the study group timely.
