Ontario Premier Doug Ford said this week he wants Ontario medical school spaces dedicated to Ontario medical students only, but by virtue of its design, Northern Ontario’s med school is already doing that
The fact Ontario Premier Doug Ford wants learner spaces at Ontario medical schools to be reserved for Ontario students only will have little or no impact on NOSM University, Northern Ontario’s med school.
Ford made his comments earlier this week as he took part in the announcement of a new medical school to be run by York University.He was lamenting the idea that many Ontario med students opt to get their medical education in other countries with the result that some of those students choose to stay and live in those countries. He mentioned Ireland, Australia and the Caribbean as examples.
Ford also spoke of his government’s efforts to provide more education spaces to help resolve the shortage of physicians in Ontario. As per NOSM University's Selection Process & Offers of Admission for the MD Program, an applicant must be either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada by the application deadline for the year in which they apply.
Further to that, NOSM said selection for the University’s Undergraduate Medical Education Program will favour those who are likely to thrive in the challenging northern and rural learning environments, including applicants from within Northern Ontario, rural and remote areas in the rest of Canada, and Indigenous and Francophone applicants.
