Additional Notes

The Diversity in Health Care Bursary, funded by the QEII Foundation, is one way we are working to create a more diverse workforce that better represents the communities we serve. Post-secondary students who identify as African Nova Scotian, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ2S+ and/or as persons with a disability are invited to apply for a diversity in health care bursary. Students must be:

• continuing full- or part-time studies in a health profession
• attending a Canadian post-secondary institution that is recognized by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada
• a resident of Halifax Regional Municipality or West Hants 

The application form is available in both English and French. 

Nova Scotia Health Authority provides health services to Nova Scotians and some specialized services to Maritimers and Atlantic Canadians. We operate hospitals, health centres and community-based programs across the province.

Our team of health professionals includes employees, doctors, researchers, learners and volunteers that provide the health care or services you may need.

Partnerships are important to us. We work in partnership with community groups, schools, governments, foundations and auxiliaries and community health boards. Whether we are hosting wellness programs in the community, conducting innovative research in labs, or helping a patient recover in hospital; we are creating a healthier Nova Scotia.
