NOSM University says it is succeeding in its mission to help create a thriving health workforce to serve northern Ontario.
The Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) has concluded its work for 2024 and all 69 eligible NOSM University MD students were matched to residency programs.
"Critically, 38 of those students were matched to family medicine (55%)—the highest proportional rate in Canada," says a university news release.
"NOSM University is also proud that 36 of the graduating MDs (52%) will be doing their residency training at NOSM University. This is important because about 90 per cent of learners who do both an MD degree and a residency in the north, stay in the north."
“We are ecstatic with the results,” says Dr. Sarita Verma, President of NOSM University. “The numbers speak volumes, not only about what drives our MD students, but where they want to be. This exceptional family medicine match rate is part of a continued success story at NOSM University, with more than half of MD students on average choosing the discipline."
