Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSM University; French: Université de l'École de médecine du Nord de l'Ontario, Université ÉMNO) is a public university in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is mandated both to educate doctors and other learners as well as being socially accountable to Northern Ontario's urban, rural and remote communities. It has campuses in both Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine was created as a partnership between Laurentian University in Sudbury and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, before being made a standalone university in April 2022.
In 2021, following the 2021 Laurentian University financial crisis, the provincial government announced NOSM would become an independent University which would retain collaborative relationships with both Laurentian and Lakehead but would be funded directly by the provincial government as a standalone university.
