History

Since the 1980s, the Government of New Brunswick has been committed to promoting a francophone medical education within the province. The CFMNB is of historical significance for the maritimes, for it represents the first opportunity for a francophone medical education outside the Province of Québec. The University of Ottawa is a bilingual faculty, offering courses in both French and English.

The first batch of students was accepted in 2006. They later graduated in 2010.[1]

Affiliations

The CFMNB is effectively administered by Université de Sherbrooke. However, since it is located on the site of Université de Moncton, the CFMNB and Université de Moncton share important local demographic interests. Access is granted for the students at the CFMNB to most services from Université de Moncton, and students are registered as members of both universities.

Practical medical training is offered at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre located nearby and in the clinics and private offices of the physicians associated with the Zone Beauséjour of the Réseau de Santé Vitalité Health Network.

Program

The medical education program offered by the CFMNB is recognized worldwide. While the MD program is of a four-year duration, an MD-MSc is also offered in five years.

Research

The CFMNB has also been involved in medical research since 2008.

gollark: I only write for my own systems and whoever is unfortunate enough to try and clone my poorly documented repos so I can use whatever.
gollark: I also don't see why you need a 10D array over just a long 1D one.
gollark: It's probably going to be worse than AES and actual standards like that.
gollark: Please do *not* invent your own cryptography for any serious purposes.
gollark: Anyway, you could just write code for doing so for a 1D array, and then code for filling 10 N-1-dimensional arrays and merging them into a N-dimensional array
