Dear Valued Resident Doctors,

Residents are the heartbeat of our community. You wear countless hats: providing vital care to patients in a time of immense pressure on our health-care system, striving to excel as family doctors, pediatricians, psychiatrists, surgeons, and more. Simultaneously, you foster a vibrant community of learners, shaping the future of medical education.

As NOSM University proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, we extend our deepest gratitude to you—our exceptional resident doctors.

Remarkably, you achieve all of this while exemplifying compassion, integrity, and leadership. We are continually inspired by your commitment to health equity and your tireless efforts to ensure others live in good health and with dignity.

You make a difference every day. This National Resident Doctors Appreciation Week, we recognize and celebrate your unwavering dedication to our profession. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed—not today, not ever.

To show our appreciation, keep an eye on your inboxes this week for a special thank you gift from NOSM University’s Alumni Office. More information will also follow about a special gift from MD Financial.

Thank you for being an integral part of NOSM University’s 20-year legacy of transforming health care in Northern Ontario and beyond.

With gratitude,

Dr. Robert Anderson, MD, FRCPC
Associate Dean, Postgraduate Medical Education, NOSM University

Dr. Michael Green
