New campaign is underway by the Ontario Medical Association to show how Ontario physicians are working to solve the challenges in Ontario’s health-care system -- NOSM University is part of the campaign
NOSM University, formerly the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, is being showcased as the Ontario Medical Association launches a new series of health care success stories.
"Northern Ontario is in a crisis. Like the rest of Canada we have a severe shortage of family physicians," said Verma. "At NOSM University we recruit students from Northern and rural Ontario. Ninety per cent of our students come from those communities," said Verma. The page shows 27 per cent self-identified Francophone students, 16 per cent self-identified Indigenous students, 48 per cent Northern Ontario urban students and 42 per cent Northern Ontario rural students. Verma said she is happy the NOSM model for recruiting is being showcased. She said it can indeed be applied as a model in other parts of Canada.
Verma said there has been a lot of interest in NOSM from across the country where other universities are planning to open new medical schools either on campus, or in a remote setting. "It is very heavily influenced in Indigenous competencies and cultures, mostly the Northwest, but it's also heavily influenced in the Northeast. There's a lot of francophone influence as well in the Northeast. So here's the thing. I mean, if you're going to train people, you've got to train them to work with the community and the people that they're going to practice in," Verma said.
