Dr. Michael Green has been named as the new incoming president, vice-chancellor, dean and CEO of NOSM University, formerly known as the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, said a news release Tuesday.
Green will be taking over from Dr. Sarita Verma, who was appointed in July 2019. She became the second CEO at NOSM. She assumed that role from Dr. Roger Strasser, the school’s founding dean.“Dr. Green is no stranger to Northern Ontario,” Verma said in the release. “He is a highly-skilled family physician and rural generalist who spent eight years serving the communities of Moose Factory and Kashechewan. I know that NOSM University — and the North — will continue to be in very good hands.
In 2003, Green and his family moved to Kingston, where he began his academic career at Queen’s University. He served as the head and professor in the Department of Family Medicine and as a professor of Public Health Sciences and Policy Studies, among other roles, said NOSM.While Green was being welcomed, NOSM also praised Verma for her contribution to the university.
“I cannot overstate the degree to which her accomplishments have helped to shape NOSM University and the future of health equity in Northern Ontario.”During her time, Verma steered NOSM through the COVID-19 pandemic, the insolvency crisis at Laurentian University and successfully positioned NOSM University as Canada’s first independent medical university.
