MONCTON, NB–Francophone doctors in New Brunswick will continue to be trained at U de M following the renewal of a partnership between U de M, the University of Sherbrooke and the province.
U de M president Raymond Theberge says the agreement gives U de M the ability to increase research capacity, continue medical training for doctors already working and develop its simulation centre.
Theberge says the programming at the New Brunswick Medical Training Centre on the U de M campus also allows Acadians to study closer to home.
“It’s a much more effective way of training doctors and sending them away because they might now come back.”
Forty-nine per cent of Francophone family physicians in the province have studied at the facility since it opened in 2006.
