For the first time, students from the Northern Ontario School of
Medicine participated in a clinical placement in Dryden.
Laura Kember and Jeremie Larouche spent 4-weeks gaining practical
experience by working along side local doctors.
Physician Recruiter Phyllis Van Vogt says the program is a valuable
tool.
Van Vogt says the program will help the City cast a lasting impression
in hopes of convincing the students to practise in Dryden after graduation.
She says the City will continue to work with the Thunder Bay and
Sudbury campuses to facilitate medical students.
