Fifty Family Physicians across Northern Ontario Celebrated by Patients 

Fifty physicians across Northern Ontario have been honored by the Ontario College of Family Physicians. Of those recognized, 36 are NOSM University faculty members. As part of the Life with a Doctor campaign by the Ontario College of Family Physicians, Ontarians were asked to share how their family doctor has gone above and beyond for them. The response was “overwhelming and heartfelt.”    

Family doctors are an essential part of the health-care system. Approximately 55% of NOSM University graduates have chosen to practise family medicine. NOSM University is proud of the dedicated family physicians who also serve as faculty members and prepare the next generation of medical learners.
