Save-the-Date: North of 44: A Primary Care Conference

Please visit the North of 44 Conference Website for registration and for more information.

Hybrid Event!

Date: October 31, 2025

Location: NOSM U Sudbury Campus & Webex

As Primary Care Providers in the North, we share a distinct identity from our Southern counterparts. The North of 44 Conference was created to reflect the holistic needs of the “generalist” nature of our practices, while respecting the geographic realities and diverse service models that define our region.

Our vision extends beyond the event itself. We aim to foster a Community of Learning that brings together NOSM U learners, Academic and Community Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Multidisciplinary Health Professionals. This shared space for connection and collaboration will strengthen our academic network, enrich our professional growth, and help shape a dynamic, integrated medical community for the future.

This year marks a special milestone—our 10-year anniversary—and we’re thrilled to celebrate it with you on Halloween! We’ve carefully designed the program timeline so you can fully engage in the conference and still make it home in time for an evening of trick-or-treating fun.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this year’s special gathering of North of 44!
