On Friday, March 5, 2010, the Honourable Dr. Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), announced two new physician recruitment and retention initiatives from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine's (NOSM) West Campus in Thunder Bay. These incentives significantly increase the size of grants to physicians and new physician graduates who agree to practice in Northern and rural communities, and expand the range of communities in which Canadian and international medical graduates can fulfill their postgraduate return of service commitments. The programs complement and support NOSM’s social accountability mandate to contribute to improving the health of the people and communities of Northern Ontario.
