More doctors will be graduating in the North.
That from MPP Vic Fedeli, who says his government’s expanding the number of undergraduate seats and post-medical training positions at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University.
14 new undergraduate seats and 22 new training positions to be exact.
Fedeli says the move ensures more doctors will be providing the high-quality health care Northern Ontario need and deserves.
“NOSM University is grateful to the Ontario government for supporting medical school expansion. Their attention to addressing health inequities in Northern Ontario and emphasis on resources to train physicians is urgent and much appreciated. NOSM University, as Canada’s only independent medical University, will continue its success in delivering to the needs of the communities in Northern Ontario,” said Dr. Sarita Verma, President, Vice Chancellor, Dean and CEO of NOSM University.
It will bring the total number of undergraduate seats at the university to 108, along with 123 post graduate seats by 2028.
