GJaswal Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, Does anyone know how long you need to be living in Northern Ontario to be considered a Nothern Ontario applicant. I know there have been previous threads about this, but I was wondering if anyone could speak about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeezLouise Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, Well, people can speculate on this quite a bit, but from how I see it...the FOUNDER of the school, Dr. Roger Strasser is quite involved in research. One of his more recent articles suggests that students who were not raised 5+ years in a rural setting will most likely not stick around and practice medicine in rural settings post-training...so if this is what the founding dean believes. Check it out for yourselves (pubmed): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17430082?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum Somers GT, Strasser R. What does it take? The influence of rural upbringing and sense of rural background on medical students' intention to work in a rural environment. Rural Remote Health. 2007 Apr-Jun;7(2):706.

Real Beef Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 This has been covered in previous posts .... Do some searching. As far as what has been told to people is that it is 10 years. After 5 years I believe you get some additional points as well ... Im about 7 year 10 months off from benefiting from being considered a NO resident :-) Beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
