The first doctors of Nova Scotia had little or no training because there was no law regulating the practice of medicine. There was no legal registration required to practice medicine or surgery in this province. Doctors had to leave Nova Scotia and go to the United States or Europe to receive basic medical instruction, while many who wished to enter the medical profession had to follow the village doctor or leading physician in some towns. They learned by watching the doctor and helping out when required. The first Medical Act was passed on May 29, 1828, an Act to exclude uneducated and unskilled people from the practice of doctoring and surgery. The early doctors of Nova Scotia prepared their own medications for their patients and usually operated a dispensary adjoining their office where they hired people to make medicine for them."-- Provided by publisher.
