Program Highlights

The NOSM University Internal Medicine Program is a core Royal College IM Program that allows you the choice to apply to a Medical Subspecialty Program after 3 years of training or continuing in the Program to become an excellent, well-rounded General Internist, confident and capable of practising in a Northern, rural or remote community.

We are a small Program, which allows you unparalleled opportunities to get to know your peers and the faculty, learn first-hand from the staff, perform procedures even in your first year, and develop a flexible schedule to match your learning needs.

Based in Northern Ontario communities varying from smaller towns to cities, you will gain experience with first-hand exposure to the full spectrum of IM disease entities, providing learning opportunities beyond a text-book. You will see patients with conditions you thought you would only read about, and may be the physician to diagnoses them.

There is unmatched involvement and support from the IM faculty at all sites, who have your success at heart and work hard to help you achieve your goals, to the extent of personally contacting other schools to help you arrange electives and recommending you for Subspecialty matches.

NOSM University supports you as you travel to and live in communities away from your home base for your core rotations.

General Information

Since its inception, the Internal Medicine program has grown and developed in response to resident feedback. Northern Ontario offers residents a rare opportunity to develop the broad-based knowledge and skills of a true general internist, in an environment with a wide variety of patient problems, diseases and conditions. Residents gain skills quickly in an environment with high clinical responsibility backed-up by strong support from preceptors.

With a diverse exposure to all subspecialty procedures and clinical scenarios, residents completing NOSM University Internal Medicine program can expect to practice as highly trained, competent and confident Internal Medicine generalists.

The following represent the highlights of our program:

  • Unmatched opportunities to develop and learn technical and practical subspecialty skills early in your residency
  • Unparalleled preceptor support with lower learner to preceptor ratios, often working solely with your preceptor
  • Early integration as a key member of a health care team dedicated to professionalism, high quality patient care and excellent medical education
  • Commitment to resident learning
  • Self-directed, learner-centred training to meet your career goals
  • Exposure to the culture and social fabric of Francophone and Indigenous communities
  • Housing and support from NOSM University for rotations away from primary residence
  • Opportunity to participate in research under expert guidance
  • Access to advanced technology and informatics in residency training
  • 24/7 access to electric search engines, electronic indexes as well as an extensive collection of electronic medical/health journals and textbooks
  • Exceptional lifestyle balance with a wide variety of outstanding Northern Ontario recreational opportunities
