Important message for staff working at Halifax hospitals: On occasion, Dalhousie faculty working within the Capital District Health Authority (e.g., Medical School, Health Professions) have problems accessing online resources at the university from their computers in offices at local hospitals. Usually, these problems arise from the hospital's computer network firewalls (security measures to protect confidential information). Computer support staff in the hospitals and at Dalhousie can help. Please click here for more information.
