Come to N. Ontario as a Resident on an Elective!
New Program: Nor-Star
The Ministry of Health recently announced the Nor-Star (Northern Ontario Resident Streamlined Training and Reimbursement) program, which aims to remove barriers to training more physicians in Northern Ontario through the reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs for residents from any Canadian residency undertaking clinical placements in Northern Ontario.
The program consists of three components:
| Locum-Learner Dyads | Travel and accommodation reimbursement to medical residents when accompanying faculty physicians from their home institution on locums in the Northeast and Northwest Ontario regions. |
| Postgraduate Electives Learners | Travel and accommodation reimbursement to medical residents completing electives beginning on or after July 1, 2023 in the Northeast and Northwest Ontario regions. |
| Residents in the Restricted Registration Program | Travel and accommodation reimbursement to medical residents providing clinical services in the Northeast and Northwest Ontario regions under the Professional Association of Residents of Ontario Restricted Registration Program. |

Medical residents can find out more information on the NOSM U Medical Electives website and view what opportunities are available on the new interactive Clinical Electives Catalogue.
