From the publisher. Twelve contributors highlight various aspects of the school’s development and the unique opportunities it offers. The first new medical school in Canada in more than 30 years, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine provides a blueprint for those interested in an innovative approach to medical education. This collection provides a fascinating and detailed account of the challenges and rewards faced by those who insisted on creating a patient-centred, community-based, and culturally sensitive learning environment for the physicians of tomorrow.
