The Anesthesiology program at NOSM University strives to be outstanding. We have a long history of training Royal College residents with unparalleled clinical experience and incredibly skilled and enthusiastic staff.
The NOSM Univeristy Anesthesia academic program is based on “active learning” utilizing a wide variety of simulation and problem-based cases. Through an innovative, comprehensive curriculum and assessment process, residents in this program will receive frequent feedback to help acquire lifelong, reflective learning skills, ensuring clinical excellence. In addition to the CBD framework, novel education interventions, simulation, and e-Learning are integral parts of the program. We are highly responsive to resident feedback resulting in a process of continual evaluation and modification of the academic and clinical program. We are using a unique, modular framework to implement CBD to help organize and guide the resident’s progress while adding flexibility to allow individualized progress.
Residents in this program will have a number of opportunities unique to Northern Ontario. While the majority of the training takes place in Sudbury, the opportunity for clinical experiences in various centers across the North, from small rural hospitals to other major centers such as Thunder Bay, provides a unique chance to understand how anesthesia is provided outside of the major teaching center, and exposure to potential career opportunities. In addition to clinical research opportunities, residents have a unique ability to engage in medical education scholarship in this cutting-edge program.
Residents are an integral part of the perioperative team but are not necessary for the day-to-day functioning of the hospital. This means we are all about education! The service-to-education balance is very much in favour of the resident.
Residents in this program will work in a collegial group, dedicated to outstanding clinical care and education, living in a growing city with lots of opportunities for “outdoor living”.
In addition to the above, other aspects of the NOSM University program that set it apart include:

No, not really. Sudbury has a relatively high number of ORs covering all major surgical specialties with exposure to high acuity cases. Residents are able to gain exposure in these subspecialty rooms throughout their training, not exclusively during subspecialty rotations. Residents are scheduled in other centers to complement their local training. For example, while residents gain exposure to pediatric cases longitudinally, the program has an affiliation agreement with the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children for high volume, subspecialty pediatric anesthesia training. Residents are exposed to regional anesthesia and obstetrics longitudinally throughout their training as well.
The learning environment is very positive and collegial. Staff and residents get to know each other very well and all program stakeholders including the Program Director are just a text away. Being a small program allows for one to one, staff to resident ratio every day. Residents are able to develop a rapport & familiarity with staff. The small size of the program also allows for each voice to carry more weight in helping shape and reshape the program.
Our program integrates simulation throughout the entire training program. During orientation, residents are introduced to simulation within the first few days of being a resident! Simulation is integrated into our academic program and tied to the topics presented during the academic half days. This gives residents exposure to simulation approximately 6-8 times per year. We also have a simulation review day the week before the academic exams to help bring home key learning that has occurred over the past few months. Finally, we have the new Labelle Innovation and Learning Centre, which is home to the new simulation center.
The resident’s home base is Sudbury, however, over the course of the five year program there are many opportunities to do rotations outside of Sudbury. For example, the SickKids rotation is for three consecutive months in fourth year. Residents currently go to Thunder Bay once a year for rotations such as chronic pain, respirology and general anesthesia. Residents also do two community anesthesia rotations in northern Ontario during the five years. For all rotations that done outside of Sudbury, NOSM arranges for and pays for all accommodations.
Sudbury is a very active city all year round. There are 330 lakes within the City limits, and these lakes are used in all four seasons for swimming, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and ice fishing, walking, snowshoeing and skating –the list goes on! Ramsey Lake is located in the middle of Sudbury, and it once held the record for the world’s largest lake located entirely within the boundaries of a city. There are many hiking trails only a few minutes away. There is also a thriving community of locally owned distilleries and breweries, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.
