The Packsack Project

Innovations in Northern Health Education

SSMIC/RAIN & NORDIK Institute Season 1 Episode 4

In today's episode, we speak with Dr Catherine Cervin, Vice Dean Academic at NOSM University (formerly the Northern Ontario School of Medicine) about innovations in health education for Northern Ontario. The NOSM University has an amazing track record of developing a culturally responsive healthcare system within Northern Ontario. We cover a number of topics including Dr Cervin's approach to the practice of family medicine in the North and how NOSM University is responding to doctor shortages that communities are facing. Since recording this episode it was announced that NOSM became the first Independent Medical University in Canada!
