The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) is a pioneering faculty of medicine. A medical school for the whole of Northern Ontario, the School is a joint initiative of Lakehead University and Laurentian University with main campuses in Thunder Bay and Sudbury, and multiple teaching and research sites distributed across Northern Ontario. By educating skilled physicians and undertaking health research suited to community needs, NOSM will become a cornerstone of community health care and contribute to improving the health of people in Northern Ontario. NOSM is unique in a number of ways. When the School welcomed its first students in September 2005, it became the first new medical school in Canada in over 30 years, and only the second new medical school in North America during a similar period. It is the first Canadian medical school hosted by two universities, some 1200 kilometers apart. In addition, NOSM is the only Canadian medical school to be established as a stand-alone, not-for-profit corporation, with its own Board of Directors and corporate by-laws.
