Last week, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) launched its Library Endowment Fund Campaign in support of the School’s Health Sciences Library.
The launch took place in both Sudbury and Thunder Bay at open houses at the medical school's campuses, where more than 200 community members, alumni, students, residents, staff, faculty, donors, potential applicants and partners visited NOSM.
The Endowment Fund was established to offset the rising costs of the school's Health Sciences Library.
Each year, NOSM is involved in the education of more than 900 learners who are becoming doctors, dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, audiologists, speech language pathologists and physician assistants.
These learners are distributed across more than 90 communities in Northern Ontario, taught by more than 1,400 faculty members. The school said its Health Sciences Library serves as an important resource to these learners and faculty, who need the most up-to-date health resources for their learning and their practice.
In order to support these learners and faculty across the north, the Health Sciences Library provides electronic access to the school’s collection across NOSM’s wider campus of Northern Ontario.
All Northern Ontarians are invited to donate to NOSM’s Health Sciences Library Endowment Fund. Visit nosm.ca/donate.
