WELCOME BRIANNA!

We are so lucky to have six new Dalhousie Medical School LIC students joining us to learn and practice rural healthcare for the next year. Let's get to know them better:

Brianna was born and raised in Halifax, but her mother is from Blockhouse. She
spent much of her childhood on the South Shore, especially on Big Mushamush Lake.

Brianna is part of the Dalhousie Rural Family Medicine pilot project with Cape Breton Universtiy. As part of this she has committed to practicing Family Medicine and completing a 5-year return of service in rural Nova Scotia. Her educational interests also include palliative care, public health, and medical humanities.

If you see Brianna in the hospital, the clinic or in the community, please extend a big South Shore welcome!

WELCOME AJ!

We are so lucky to have six new Dalhousie Medical School LIC students joining us to learn and practice rural healthcare for the next year. Let's get to know them better:

Originally from the South Shore, AJ grew up in Lunenburg. Before medical school, he did his undergrad at Dal, followed by a Master’s in Immunosciences and Infection at the University of Bonn in Germany. He does not know what type of medicine he wants to pursue at this point. Everything seems so interesting, he's not sure how anyone can choose!

AJ is passionate about planetary health and sustainability, which ties into his love of the outdoors. He enjoys hiking, cycling, skating, and whatever else he can do to get moving - especially if it involves being outside!

AJ is excited to be back in the South Shore for the LIC program. If you see AJ in the hospital, the clinic or in the community, please extend a big South Shore welcome!

WELCOME TANAKA!

We are so lucky to have six new Dalhousie Medical School LIC students joining us to learn and practice rural healthcare for the next year. Let's get to know them better:

Tanaka has been living in Halifax for about 10 years, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Medical Sciences at Dalhousie University and worked for a bit before joining the Dalhousie Medicine Class of 2027.

Tanaka has always loved coming down to the South Shore for camping and adventures in nature. She chose to join the LIC program because she enjoys many areas within medicine, and is hoping that exposure to rural medicine will help her make a more informed decision about what she'd like to pursue in the future. Currently, she has interest in both family medicine and internal medicine.

In her free time, you’ll find Tanaka hiking, at the gym, baking, camping, spending time with friends, or reading a good book.

Tanaka is so excited to have the opportunity to live here for a year and be part of the community! If you see Tanaka in the hospital, the clinic or in the community, please extend a big South Shore welcome!

WELCOME ALLISON!

We are so lucky to have six new Dalhousie Medical School LIC students joining us to learn and practice rural healthcare for the next year. Let's get to know them better:

Originally from Ontario, Alli grew up in Texas, and has now called the East Coast home for 15 years. She completed a BA in Psychology at Mount Allison and a Masters of Occupational Therapy at Dalhousie. Working as an OT in the community, Alli saw how many people lacked a primary care provider, which inspired her to pursue medicine. She is thrilled to be part of the South Shore LIC program this year!

Alli is especially interested in family medicine and the lasting relationships family doctors can build with their patients. Outside of medicine, she enjoys gardening, baking and exploring the outdoors with her husband and their two young children.

She and her family are excited to become part of the South Shore community! If you see Alli in the hospital, the clinic or in the community, please extend a big South Shore welcome!
