We are looking to improve health outcomes within the African Nova Scotian community encompassing all people of African descent living in Nova Scotia. We aim to address the under-representation of people of African descent in the health professions through:
- recruitment activities, such as our summer camp for youth,
- advocate, facilitate and support programs and policies that support student success
- engage with the community and facilitate partnerships

Health Professions Exploration Day 2026 🩺👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️
