The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) maintains a commitment to providing information to rural, remote, Aboriginal, and Francophone youth about health careers.

The camps take place July 6 – 10, 2015 in the modern and technologically advanced settings of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine at Laurentian University in Sudbury and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. These week-long programs provide students with an opportunity to explore health-care careers, obtain hands-on experience, and find a mentor.

Camp activities include: casting and x-rays, CSI, physiology and anatomy, Aboriginal culture and tradition, and Francophone health, traditions, and culture and much more!
