It is also within walking distance of three major teaching hospitals (IWK, Victoria General, and Halifax Infirmary). Halifax, the largest urban area in Atlantic Canada and Nova Scotia\'s capital city, sits in the center of Nova Scotia\'s east coast and is an important seaport that looks out over one of the world\'s largest natural harbours.

We balance a relaxing pace with modern urban amenities and affordability with world class-experiences. We value our strong historical ties but drive to shake up the norm. This perfect balance makes Halifax one of the best places in the world to visit, no matter what a visitor is looking for: see for yourself in this video! Nature lovers will find sandy beaches, beautiful gardens, hiking, birding, and beachcombing. Urbanites can enjoy the symphony, live theatre, art galleries, and museums, along with a lively nightlife that includes brewpubs and a great culinary scene. Physicians in Nova Scotia provide fulfilling patient care which embraces family life, professional development and community involvement. That\'s what makes practicing medicine in Nova Scotia unique.
