Detailed Agenda
Welcome to the conference site!
Whether you are an undergraduate medical learner, a postgrad learner or a spouse or partner of a future physician, we are glad you are interested in seeing what this conference can offer.
Northern Ontario needs excellent clinicians - clinicians who are advocates, leaders, adventurers and changemakers! At NOSM, we want to support your success as a clinician in our region and we look forward to welcoming you as future faculty. We also want your partners and families to know that we know that their happiness in Northern Ontario is part of your success as a clinician.
We have an agenda that we know has something for everyone. If you are an undergrad learner, there are sessions about CaRMS, electives, and transition to residency. If you are a postgrad learner, there are sessions about transitions to practice. For all learners there will be sessions on financial management and debt management led by MD Financial Management and Scotiabank, and safe high quality care led by the CMPA.
For spouses and partners, there are three sessions focused on thriving as a family unit in practice. And everyone, including spouses and partners can visit the virtual community booths to get a sense of where you might like to do an elective, consider a locum, enter into practice, or live and work as a family.
All are welcome to this conference session. It's a first for us and we will invite your insights and feedback to make this what you most need it to be for this year, and into the future!
