NOSMOweek

By Angela Gemmill

As part of Orientation Week, the 64 new students at NOSM spent last week, learning about the cultural linguistic and geographic diversity of our region.

Classes began yesterday at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury and Thunder Bay.

The tour is a way to introduce the new students to the wider campus -that is the Northern Ontario region- where they will live and learn over the next four years.

Over 2,000 applicants applied the NOSM’s MD program this year…and only 3% were chosen.

Almost 90% of the new students are from the region, while the remainder are from rural and remote parts of Canada.
