	Northern Ontario School of Medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (also known as the Northern Ontario Medical School) is a medical school created through a partnership between Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
		Before the creation of NOSM, Northern Ontario had for several years been designated as "underserved" by medical services, meaning that the region's ratio of medical professionals to the general population was not meeting the standards set by the Ministry of Health.
		The explicit aim is to further the practice of evidence-based medicine in the north, with special focus on the physicians, residents, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other health care professionals in northern and/or rural communities, whether or not they are officially affiliated with the NOSM.
