A New Medical Sciences Cohorts Initiative
Inclusive Pathways to Medical Professions (IPMP)
Overview
Working with the communities most underrepresented in our region, the new听Inclusive Pathways to Medical Professions (IPMP) cohort initiative aims to attract and support听Indigenous students from the Maritimes and African Nova Scotian students in the Medical Sciences BSc program using a cohort approach.
听
Starting in Fall 2022, we will accept听10 Mi鈥檏maq and 10 African Nova Scotian students听(in addition to our current enrolment). Each cohort will have a wrap-around support framework that will be overseen by Cohort Advisors, who themselves are representative of our target communities.
This program will achieve the following:
(i) Increase the representation of Indigenous and African Nova Scotian students in the Medical Sciences BSc program
(ii) 听Increase the representation of Indigenous and African Nova Scotian students in downstream programs including Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy etc.
(iii)听Strengthen ties with the Indigenous and African Nova Scotian communities
