The Province of Nova Scotia, in partnership with the Faculty of Medicine, has announced the development and funding of a Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) program at Dal that is poised to help alleviate some of the burden faced by physicians and provide a pathway to meet the health-care needs of Nova Scotians.

Drs. Megan Bailey and Tom Ue are the first to receive the Dr. Anne Marie Ryan Community Growth Award, a new award launched by AV俱乐部 this year to recognize individuals and groups at the university dedicated to building a better community through education, learning and outreach.

Dal's new institutional lead for AI strategy may be a computer scientist by trade, but the conversations he's facilitating are much more about people 鈥斅燼nd how the Dal community can work through the opportunities and challenges of a fast-moving frontier of digital disruption.

The Dal framework is designed to create more alignment and efficiencies between plans and strategies across the university and offers new approaches to funding strategic projects and other institutional priorities.
