NOSM University | Université EMNO

NOSM University—purpose-built and decentralized—is the first of its kind in Canada. For nearly two decades, we've led with social accountability, and have been striving to innovate health-care delivery while advocating for health justice across Northern Ontario. We develop diverse, community-minded health-care leaders with heart. In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, NOSM University respectfully acknowledges that our pan-Northern campus is on the homelands of First Nations and Métis Peoples. The university buildings we occupy in Greater Sudbury and Thunder Bay are located on the territory of the Anishinabek Nation, specifically Atikameksheng and Wahnapitae First Nations and Fort William First Nation. But beyond a land acknowledgement, we understand that reconciliation is a practice. We gratefully acknowledge the Elders and Knowledge Holders who share their gifts and teachings with us so that we may better understand and honour their wisdom, and that of all of the traditional keepers of this land. NOSM University will continue to practice reconciliation by listening, learning and fostering a culture of mutual respect and trust.
