Dialogue with Indigenous Peoples is a key component of what makes NOSM University unique. Even before NOSM University’s Charter MD Class was welcomed in 2005, NOSM University was committed to improving the health of the peoples and communities of Northern Ontario. At the earliest stages of development, NOSM University engaged the Indigenous communities of Northern Ontario as part of its mandate to be accountable to the social, cultural, linguistic, and geographic diversity of the region.
“From its inception, the activities of the NOSM University have been created for the context of the North, specifically designed to meet the needs of Northern, rural, remote, Indigenous, and Francophone communities,” says NOSM U Dean, Dr. Roger Strasser. “With our many partners and collaborators, we are proud to have built a medical school that strives to ensure that the School’s education and research reflect the needs of the peoples and communities of the region.”
The 94 Calls to Action, released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), urges all Canadians to work together to repair the harm caused by residential schools and move forward with reconciliation. NOSM University addresses 19 of the 94 Calls to Action linked to health, education, language, culture, and youth. NOSM University’s response serves as a living document accountable to all communities of Northern Ontario. Designed as a framework for ongoing work, the report will serve as a measure of progress with annual reporting to the NOSM community for input and guidance. In this way, the School will invite all collaborators for ongoing input as we continue to address the spirit and intent of the 94 Calls to Action.
