The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM University), created in 2002, made history by becoming Canada's first independent medical university—now known as NOSM University—on April 1, 2022.

NOSM University is one of the greatest medical education success stories of Canada. Born of a grassroots movement, NOSM University is a made-in-the-North solution to regional health care inequalities. Its internationally recognized distributed, community-engaged learning (DCEL) model is distinctive and has grown into something extraordinary.

This education model requires NOSM University to have strong ties and engagement with remote, rural, Indigenous and Francophone communities. It features partnerships and collaborations with more than 500 organizations, in more than 90 communities, and with more than 1,800 clinical, human, and medical sciences faculty dispersed across all of Northern Ontario.

In nearly 100 sites across the North provides training in more than 90 communities across 800,000 square kilometres include Indigenous, Francophone, remote/rural communities, and urban centres. social accountability.

NOSM University faculty, staff and students do not function in a traditional medical school building. Rather, the walls of the University are the boundaries of Northern Ontario, spanning thousands of kilometres, with two main campuses and countless communities that are linked in some way to the University.

  NOSM University's education is quite literally “all over the map,” taking learners out of traditional classrooms and into your community.

  NOSM University learners are educated in your community about the local culture, economic realities, and social determinants of health that are relevant here in the North with the hope that their experiences will win over their hearts and minds, and encourage them to return to practise in the North upon completion of their education. And it's working. The majority of NOSM University learners do remain to practise in the North.

  The walls of the NOSM University are the boundaries of Northern Ontario and span 800,000 km² that include Indigenous, Francophone, remote/rural communities, and urban centres.  Below are 63 profiles of the more than 90 communities where NOSM University students live and learn.
