"The School's first 56 undergraduate class members arrived on their respective campuses ten days ago, and have already begun their studies which will be undertaken in a wide variety of community and health science settings across Northern Ontario."
Fantastic! :tti:

Best of luck the new students at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.

What should also be done is take the Ontario College of Physicians to task and fast-track the many skilled immigrnants who could start working in this field immediately.

That would definately help to alleviate the doctor shortage and seems so logical it may not happen.

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada also plays a huge role. Not all countries have submitted information for assessment to ensure the training received meets Canadian criteria. And then it breaks down to the provincial level.

I assisted a friend in navigating the bureaucracy 18 months ago and it was quite cumbersome at that time.

Exactly the comment I was going to make Just Doug but at the same time there is no question about the need for this facility.
