A Distributed Community Instructional Model of Medical Education
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) was created by the Government of Ontario with a specific social accountability mandate "To provide innovative undergraduate and post graduate medical education programs to met the needs of the students and the health care needs of the underserved population of Northern Ontario".
As the first new fully accredited medical school in Canada in over 30 years, the original class of fifty-five students graduated in May of 2009. This presentation describes the curriculum experiences created to meet the needs of the students and people of Northern Ontario and the processes involved in an area of 1,000,000 square kilometers challenged by economic, geographic and political factors.

* Describe the "engagement" strategies employed to obtain consensus on curricular direction for NOSM
* Identify innovative features of the NOSM curriculum in contrast with "traditional" curricular models
* Describe the integrative nature of the NOSM curriculum with a focus on the medical or explanatory sciences
* Identify the nature of Governance in a medical school as "not-for-profit corporation" with two university partners
* Define the impact of 70 partner communities on communication, construction and institutional culture.
