Northern Ontario-based agencies looking to hire health-care learners for summer 2025 may seek approval by completing the online Summer Studentship Program Agency Application Form from November 1, 2024, to January 1, 2025. If required, additional information about organizational and recruitment goals will be requested for submission by January 15, 2025.
Learners will be invited to apply for summer placements with approved agencies in winter 2025 through the NOSM University application process. To be eligible for the program, learners who are born and/or raised in Northern Ontario and studying in a health discipline approved by the program are given preference.
