SAULT STE. MARIE -- As part of a solution to Sault Ste. Marie's doctor shortage, a push for a "new, innovative" regional campus of Northern Ontario School of Medicine is expected to launch next week.
At Monday's city council meeting, Vair will ask for $75,000 in community development funds toward the $100,000 cost of developing a business case for a NOSM campus in the Sault. "Recently, the Group Health Centre announced they will be removing 10,000 patients from their roster and this adds to the list of patients that are on waiting lists to receive primary care services.
"The business case and funding proposal will explore the establishment of a regional campus that produces not just doctors but also the broader talent and skills required to meet patient needs with a team-based healthcare approach that utilizes advanced technology to coordinate and deliver best-in-class services tailored for northern Ontario," Vair said in his report.Vair describes the business case and funding proposal as a crucial first step.
