About the program
In this program, you’ll have the chance to engage with northern and rural communities through both clinical and cultural experiences. The number of students accepted each year depends on available funding and whether a community is able to host a placement.
Before you head to your community, you’ll attend an orientation. Ongomiizwin – Health Services typically arranges accommodations at the local Nursing Station or Health Centre, and also covers your travel expenses.
Eligibility
