Registration Open!

NOSM U Sudbury Campus and Webex

Welcome to the North of 44 Conference!

As Primary Care Providers in the North, we share a distinct identity from our Southern counterparts. The North of 44 Conference was created to reflect the holistic needs of the “generalist” nature of our practices, while respecting the geographic realities and diverse service models that define our region.

Our vision extends beyond the event itself. We aim to foster a Community of Learning that brings together NOSM U learners, Academic and Community Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Multidisciplinary Health Professionals. This shared space for connection and collaboration will strengthen our academic network, enrich our professional growth, and help shape a dynamic, integrated medical community for the future.

North of 44 Overall Learning Objectives: 

1. Integrate clinical pearls in transgender care, migraine management, oral lesion assessment, and menopause care to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in family medicine practice. (CanMEDS - Medical Expert) 

2. Apply specialty-informed insights to enhance primary care management of hypertension and other common conditions in pregnancy, abnormal SPEP/UPEP findings, hyperbaric oxygen therapy referrals, and circadian biology-related health concerns. (CanMEDS - Medical Expert, CanMEDS - Professional) 

3. Identify key indicators of addictions, behavioural health needs, and chronic disease risk factors that warrant referral to or collaboration with interdisciplinary services. (CanMEDS - Medical Expert, CanMEDS- Collaborator) 

4. Facilitate effective communication with patients regarding supplements for wellness, migraine triggers, menopause symptoms, transgender care goals, and shared decision-making in preventive and chronic disease management. (CanMEDS - Communicator)
