1- Eligibility\u00a0<\/h3>

CANADIAN STUDENTS<\/strong><\/p>

You are able to apply as a Canadian student if you are from a medical school outside of Ontario and are in your penultimate or final year of your medical program.<\/p>

MD EXTENSION PROGRAM STUDENTS<\/strong><\/p>

This student type has been implemented for Undergraduate learners who are interested in completing electives after completion of their final undergraduate year and have gone unmatched through CaRMS.\u00a0 MD Extension learners should contact NOSM U directly at electives@nosm.ca<\/strong><\/p>

ONTARIO STUDENTS<\/strong><\/p>

You are able to apply as an Ontario student if you are from a medical school within Ontario and are in your penultimate or final year of your medical program.<\/p>

2- Application Instructions\u00a0<\/h3>

Preceptor Search<\/strong><\/p>

Learners are discouraged from contacting their own preceptor. NOSM University will match you to a preceptor in your preferred area of specialty or community. This will permit us to follow our administrative processes which are designed to ensure that all learners have equitable access to the available placement opportunities in Northern Ontario.<\/p>

ELECTIVE CAPACITY<\/strong><\/p>

Capacity based model, please apply to what is available in the AFMC Portal.\u00a0 There are no other opportunities available, please refrain from contacting the electives coordinators in this regard.<\/p>

Number of Electives<\/strong><\/p>

Canadian learners can apply for multiple electives at NOSM University; however we do not accept multiple applications for the same dates. Different date choices must be in a separate application as we do not accept choices in the comments section of the Application.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Student Assessments<\/strong><\/p>

Students are responsible for providing their preceptor with an elective assessment form from their home university.<\/p>

If students do not receive the completed form within 2 weeks of the elective\u2019s end, they should contact our elective office @\u00a0electives@nosm.ca<\/a>.\u00a0The Electives Office will then follow up with the preceptor and department to ensure completion of assessment.\u00a0<\/p>
