We are collaborating and working actively as a medical school for the entire north."

Some of the first faculty located out of major centers includes five recently appointed Theme Coordinators. These experts will lead the development of five key areas as part of the NOMS curriculum. These themes will help ensure NOMS' curriculum reflects a uniquely northern reality. The five themes and their coordinators are: CURLING - Northern and Rural Health - Dr. Richard Denton, Kirkland Lake
