Residents practicing in northern Ontario require comprehensive knowledge and skills to practice in rural and remote settings. NOSM University recognizes the need for Family Medicine residents to acquire additional learning opportunities that enhance their scope of practice and further develop competencies and skills sets. The learning environments of northern communities are combined with academic centers to reach these goals. NOSM University’s PGY3 programs in advanced skills assist learners to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours with an approach that builds the confidence to manage clinical problems outside tertiary centers in settings with less resources and medical specialists’ support.
